Getting Started Making Charts 19 FIGURE 19.18 A line chart often can help you spot trends in your data. A line chart can use any number of data series, and you distinguish the lines by using different colors, line styles, or markers. Figure 19.19 shows a line chart that has three series. The series are distinguished by both markers and different line colors. FIGURE 19.19 This line chart displays three series. The final line chart example, shown in Figure 19.20, is a 3-D line chart. Although it has a nice visual appeal (especially with the shadow effect), it’s certainly not the clearest way to present the data. 369
Part III Creating Charts and Graphics FIGURE 19.20 This 3-D line chart does not present the data very well. Pie charts A pie chart is useful when you want to show relative proportions or contributions to a whole. A pie chart uses only one data series. Pie charts are most effective with a small number of data points. Generally, a pie chart should use no more than five or six data points (or slices). A pie chart with too many data points can be very difficult to interpret. The values used in a pie chart must all be positive numbers. If you create a pie chart that uses one or more negative values, the negative values will be converted to positive values — which is probably not what you intended! NOTE You can “explode” one or more slices of a pie chart for emphasis (see Figure 19.21). Activate the chart and click any pie slice to select the entire pie. Then click the slice that you want to explode and drag it away from the center. ON the CD-ROM A workbook that contains the charts in this section is available on the companion CD-ROM. The file is named pie charts.xlsx. The pie of pie and bar of pie chart types enables you to display a secondary chart that provides more detail for one of the pie slices. Figure 19.22 shows an example of a bar of pie chart. The pie chart shows the breakdown of four expense categories Rent, Supplies, Miscellaneous, and Salary. The secondary bar chart provides an additional regional breakdown of the Salary category. The data used in the chart resides in A2:B8. When the chart was created, Excel made a guess at which categories belong to the secondary chart. In this case, the guess was to use the last three data points for the secondary chart — and the guess was incorrect. To correct the chart, right-click any of the pie slices and choose Format Data Series. In the dialog box, select the Series Options tab and make the changes. In this example, I chose Split Series By Position and specified that the Second Plot Contains The Last 4 Values In The Series. I also replaced the default category name (Other) with Salary. 370
