CS1100: Computer Science and Its Applications Creating Graphs and Charts in Excel

Charts Data is often better explained through visualization as either a graph or a chart. Excel makes creating charts easy: – Column Charts – Pie Charts – Bar Graphs – Line Graphs – Area Graphs – Scatter Plots CS1100Charts & Graphs2

Sample Data Here’s some sales data that we would like to visualize: CS1100Charts & Graphs3

Pie Charts A pie chart is useful when you are trying to show proportions. How much of the sales revenue comes from each client? Who are our largest clients? CS1100Charts & Graphs4

The Chart Layout CS1100Charts & Graphs5

Creating a Pie Chart Highlight data and headers Go to Insert tab Within Charts section, click on Pie and select chart you would like CS1100Charts & Graphs6 jys

chart_sample_data.xlsx Sales by Customer

Customizing a Chart CS1100Charts & Graphs8

CS1100Charts & Graphs9

Transparency to Create a Minimal Display Useful for creating a worksheet display that minimizes chart details and simply shows a small graphic to support a set of numbers CS1100Charts & Graphs10

chart_sample_data.xlsx Sales by Customer Chart Tools/Format/Shape Fill/No Fill

Column Chart Also known as a bar chart, with rectangular bars of lengths usually proportional to the magnitudes or frequencies of what they represent. The bars are vertically oriented in a column chart Useful for showing data changes over a period of time, or illustrating comparisons Categories organized on horizontal axis Values on vertical axis CS1100Charts & Graphs12

Column chart CS1100Charts & Graphs13

chart_sample_data.xlsx Sales YoY

Line Graph Often used to plot changes in data over time such as weekly temperature changes or stock market prices If plotting changes over time: – Time is plotted along the horizontal or x-axis – Data is plotted as individual points along the vertical axis CS1100Charts & Graphs15

Line Graph CS1100Charts & Graphs16

chart_sample_data.xlsx Sales Trend

High Low Close Graph Used to illustrate the fluctuation of stock prices or for scientific data The data should be arranged with stock names as row headings, and High, Low and Close entered as column headings In “Stock” Charts in Excel CS1100Charts & Graphs18

High Low Close CS1100Charts & Graphs19

X/Y Scatter Plot Useful for determining how things relate to one another e.g. profits vs. expenditures, height vs. weight, etc. Each data point has more than one attribute – Person (height, weight) – Quarter (profit, expenditure) Each attribute on single axis CS1100Charts & Graphs20

X/Y Scatter Plot CS1100Charts & Graphs21

Assigning a Series to a Secondary Axis A secondary value axis can make it easier to compare data series that have deviating ranges. Example: a series showing number of units sold per year has a range that is much higher than cost per unit per year that it’s hard to see how they relate to each other. Putting one of the series on a secondary axis makes it possible to compare CS1100Charts & Graphs22

The line graph on the left shows two data series with widely differing ranges, so it’s hard to compare them. The graph on the right plots one series on a secondary axis making it much easier to compare. To move a series to a secondary axis, right-click on the series, click Format Data Series, select Series Options then select Secondary Axis. CS1100Charts & Graphs23 Assigning a Series to a Secondary Axis

Trendlines, Error Bars, etc. Excel also provides statistical analysis tools via the Layout tab / Analysis section (Excel 2010) or Design tab / Add Chart Element icon (Excel 2013). – Trendlines show the “best fit” for the data. – Error bars show “confidence intervals” around data points. CS1100Charts & Graphs24

Sparklines New to Excel 2010, we can also create charts or graphs that live within one cell Their inventor, Edward Tufte, describes them as “intense, simple, word-sized graphics” Meant to be embedded into what they are describing Presents the general shape of variation in some measurement, in a simple and highly condensed way CS1100Charts & Graphs25

To Create Sparklines: Select the cell where you want the Sparkline to appear Click the Insert tab and look for the Sparklines group Choose the data range and the location for the Sparkline. CS1100Charts & Graphs26

Merging Cells To make sparklines bigger, you can merge multiple cells into a single cell. – In the home tab: CS1100Charts & Graphs28

Histograms Histograms are a specialized type of bar graph used to summarize groups of data. In some cases, you may collect a large number of data points for a single level of an independent variable. – That is, you take the same measurement over and over again. For example, when a lack of precision in measuring process does not give a good estimate of the true value with only a single measurement. CS1100Charts & Graphs35

Binning How to summarize the results of these measurements? One way might be to simply calculate the average of all these measurements. – This would not, however, give you a good feel for how the data is distributed. A distribution graph, or histogram, allows you to see how many measurements fall within set ranges, or bins, of the dependent variable. – usually depicted as a bar chart, with one bar representing the count of how many measurements fall in a single bin. CS1100Charts & Graphs36

Set up bins Set up bins based on how want data grouped together The bins may be similar to the groups of the lookup tables CS1100Charts & Graphs37

Compute Frequencies Use the FREQUENCY array function to fill in the data column. (Order of the steps is important) First: select the range for the Frequency plus one extra cell (extra cell for values that are greater than the highest interval in the data_array.) Second: type in the frequency function, =FREQUENCY(data_array, bin_array) Third: press CTRL-SHIFT-ENTER for Windows, or CMD-ENTER on Mac CS1100Charts & Graphs38

Compute Frequencies CS1100Charts & Graphs39 # of values at <= 600 # of values > 600 and <= 650 # of values > 650 and <= 700

Plot Histogram - Frequency vs. Bin Data Highlight the bin array and frequency numbers. Click on the icon for Column Chart. Series: X values are bin values, Y is the frequency. Add titles. CS1100Charts & Graphs40
