1. Examples of different formulas and their uses...

2.  Take a look at Unit 9, it is the final project worth 120 points  You will use Word to create a brochure  Excel  Powerpoint  This Unit will take some time and is due on February 22  Get started now, do NOT wait til the last minute

3.  Choosing a Chart Type  Excel makes it easy to create a chart, which is a graphic or visual representation of data. Once data is displayed in a chart, the options to enhance the information for more visual appeal and ease of analysis are almost unlimited

10. Specify the data series For most charts, such as column and bar charts, you can plot the data in a chart that you have arranged in rows or columns on a worksheet. Some chart types, however, such as a pie chart, require a specific data arrangement. On the worksheet, select the data you want to plot as a pie chart, then select pie from the types of charts available.

11. Select the Range to Chart Selecting the correct data goes hand-in-hand with having a plan for what a chart should display.

12. Select the Chart Type After you select the range of cells that you want to chart, your next step is to select the type of chart you want to create Insert the Chart and Designate the Chart Location Excel places the chart as an embedded object on the current worksheet. You can leave the chart on the same worksheet as your data or you can place the chart in a separate chart sheet See the bottom of page 376 to see how to change the chart location

13.  Page 376 of your text has a chart of Cell Selection Techniques – take a look at these, they will be very helpful  Also on page 376 is a Table of chart types and purposes – sometimes the hardest part of the chart is knowing which one to use

14.  Page 377 of your text has a Table of Chart Tools – again very helpful when creating a chart  Adding Graphics in Charts and how to Change the Chart Location and Size are on page 378 – adding graphics really can enhance a chart
