How To Graph On Excel For Mac

How to Put Two Graphs Together in Excel on a Mac By Ken Burnside. Combining bar charts and line graphs can convey a lot of information in a small space. Microsoft Excel's charting tools create evocative data visualizations from rows or columns of numbers. Charts in Excel work from columns or rows of numbers called 'data series.'

If you want to follow along with this tutorial, download the example spreadsheet. Steps to Create a Line Chart To create a line chart in Excel 2016, you will need to do the following steps: • Highlight the data that you would like to use for the line chart. In this example, we have selected the range A1:D7. • Select the Insert tab in the toolbar at the top of the screen. Click on the Line Chart button in the Charts group and then select a chart from the drop down menu. In this example, we have selected the fourth line chart (called Line with Markers) in the 2-D Line section. TIP: As you hover over each choice in the drop down menu, it will show you a preview of your data in the highlighted chart format.

• Now you will see the line chart appear in your spreadsheet showing the trend for 3 products (ie: Desktops, Laptops and Tablets). The blue series of data points represents the trend for Desktops, the orange series of data points represents Laptops and the gray series of data points represents Tablets.

The axis values for each product are displayed on the left side of the graph. • Finally, let's update the title for the line chart. To change the title, click on 'Chart Title' at the top of the graph object. You should see the title become editable. Enter the text that you would like to see as the title.

In this tutorial, we have entered 'Product Trends by Month' as the title for the line chart. Congratulations, you have finished creating your first line chart in Excel 2016!
