Chart Types

Bar: Similar to column charts, but the number of bars can be relatively large. Compared with the column chart, the positions of its two axes are changed.

Column: Column charts use vertical columns to show numerical comparisons between categories, and the number of columns should not be too large

Line: A line chart is used to show the change of data over a continuous time interval or time span.

Doughnut: Is a variation on a Pie chart except it has a round hole in the center which makes it look like a donut.

Pie: Are widely used in various fields to represent the proportion of different classifications, and to compare various classifications by the arc.

Stacked Column: A stacked column chart is a basic Excel chart type to allow part-to-whole comparisons over time, or across categories.

Stacked Bar: A stacked bar graph is a chart that uses bars to show comparisons between categories of data, but with ability to break down and compare parts of a whole.

Stacked Column (%): Data series are stacked one on top of the other in vertical columns. Stacked column charts can show change over time because it's easy to compare total column lengths.

Stacked Bar (%): A chart that uses bars to show comparisons between categories of data, but with ability to break down and compare parts of a whole.

Data Table: Any display of information in tabular form, with rows and/or columns named.
