Advanced Excel Charts

Graphics, images, and charts are great ways to visualize and represent the data, and Excel does exactly same thing for us by automatically creating the charts. There may be times when we would like to go beyond the basic charts that excel creates for us. This tutorial will focus on that complexity.

What is an advanced chart?

An advanced chart is a chart that goes beyond the basic charts created by Excel. Let's say you have more than one set of data that you would like to compare on the same chart, you can create your basic chart with one set of data then add more datasets to it and apply other items i.e. formatting to the chart. This is what advanced charts are all about.

The importance of advanced charts

• They provide consolidated information in a single chart that makes it easier to compare more than one data set and make decisions quickly for complex charts in Excel
• They allow us to customize the look and feel of the professional Excel charts
