Choosing the Right Graph: Excel and Its

Many Uses

Bar Chart

Bar graphs are most often used to show

amounts or the number of times a certain event

occurred. It makes it easier for data to be

compared.

Line Chart

In this line chart, I graphed the song, artist,

and the frequency. I chose a line chart

because it shows the recorded data the best.

Pie Chart

A pie chart is used to analyze and compare percentages to see a

what an item represents. We graphed the year and number of the games, the number of people in attendance, and location to get our

percentages.

Scatter Plot

Scatter plot graphs are used to show trends in data. They are especially useful when you have a large number of data points. We graphed the comic book titles and the estimated sales to get our graph.
