How to Make a Bar/Line Graph

Gather Data Data should be specific Data should be unbiased

Group Data (if necessary for Bar graph) Grouping data allows you to see different categories in a different way. Example.

Format X and Y Axis Label Axis Space numbers / categories evenly Make sure data takes up entire X-Axis

Create a Key for the Data Only needed if you are graphing multiple sets of data Often used with Line graphs

Add a Title Title should be specific Title should include relevant information

Color Graph Graph should look neat and professional
