Excel is spreadsheet software that allows users to create and analyze data in tables. It is part of Microsoft Office and lets users input values to automatically calculate totals, print tables, and create simple graphs. In Excel, data is organized into worksheets made up of individual cells identified by row and column letters and numbers. Charts are visual representations of worksheet data that make patterns and trends easier to see, such as pie charts for percentages, column charts for comparisons, bar charts for horizontal comparisons, and line charts for trends over time. Excel includes buttons for formatting text, inserting graphs and tables, and adding mathematical functions.

Charts often makes it easier to understand the data in a worksheet because users can easily pick out patterns and trends illustrated in the chart that are otherwise difficult to see. Pie Charts -- are used to show percentages. For example, a pie chart could be used to show what percentage of your total daily calorie intake is represented by one quadruple cheese and bacon hamburger. Column Charts -- are used to show comparisons between items of data. Each column in the chart represents the value of one item of data. An example of this would be to compare the calories in a quadruple cheese and bacon hamburger with the calories in a glass of water and a bowl of beet greens. Bar Charts -- are very similar to column charts, except they run horizontally on the page instead of vertically like column charts. Line Charts -- are used to show trends over time. Each line in the graph shows the changes in the value of one item of data. For example you could show changes in your weight over a period of months as a result of eating a quadruple cheese and bacon hamburger every day for lunch.
