Excel is known to be a powerful tool for data visualization, comparison, storage, and management which can handle large amounts of data. We know that data can be visualized and compared using different kinds of plots and charts in Excel such as line charts, bar charts, etc. The tool is used to get insights from data using formulas and functions. It is primarily used by Accounting professionals to get insights into financial data, but it can be used by anyone for different purposes. Let’s see how to create an Actual vs Target chart using floating markers:...

An excel chart is a graphical representation of a set of data that can be used for analyzing the data easily. A drop-down list allows the user to choose a specific item or element from a list. In order to learn more about excel charts please refer to Types of Charts in Excel and to learn dropdown lists refer here. Here, we will compare and analyze data using an excel chart with the help of a drop-down list. We will use mobile phones and compare them with the help of a drop-down list and represent the comparison data in excel charts....

A Y-intercept is a point on the line when x is equal to zero. It is more generally used in the slope-intercept form of the line. Let’s learn,  how to find the Y-intercept of a line of a graph in excel. Among many different forms of a line, the most commonly used line equation is the slope-intercept form. The graph of the linear equation y = mx+c where m is the slope and c is the intercept. The slope m represents the angle made by the line with the X-axis. It is defined as m = tanθ, where θ = Angle made by line with X-axis. The intercept c is the y coordinate of the line when x is equal to zero....

The Gantt chart is named after Henry Gantt, an American mechanical engineer and management consultant who devised it in the 1910s. In Excel, a Gantt diagram displays projects or tasks as cascading horizontal bar charts. A Gantt chart depicts the project’s breakdown structure by displaying start and completion dates as well as other linkages between project activities, allowing you to track tasks against their allocated time or preset milestones. A Gantt chart allows you to know at a glance which tasks are currently the greatest priority, as well as the expected completion date of the article....

Excel is powerful data visualization and data management tool which can be used to store, analyze, and create reports on large data. It can be used to visualize data using a graph plot. In excel, we can plot different kinds of graphs like line graphs, bar graphs, etc., to visualize or analyze the trend....

In Excel, by default, the charts are moved and sized with cells. Whenever we change the size of cells in an excel sheet, the excel will automatically adjust the size of the chart accordingly. Excel also provides us the option for chart positioning without changing the cell’s size. Usually, we move or change the size of the chart within excel to ensure that the chart will not cover its underlying data. We can move the chart to a new location in the worksheet or to a new or existing worksheet. Also, we resize or change the size of the chart for a better fit in the worksheet....

In 2016, they introduced the Excel waterfall chart. The chart illustrates how the value varies over time, either increasing or decreasing. Positive and negative values are by default color-coded. Unfortunately, Excel 2013 and older versions do not support the waterfall chart type. An Excel waterfall chart sometimes referred to as an Excel bridge chart is a unique kind of column chart used to display how the starting position of a certain data series varies over time, whether it be a growth or decline. The first value is represented by the first column in the waterfall chart, and the last value is represented by the last column. They reflect the total amount in their entirety....

An interactive map is a valuable tool for vendors, marketers, and customers. It’s a map on the internet with clickable points. When you click one of the points, an informational box about that point appears. Typically, it is charts or other pertinent data. It is not only effective at executing a location’s advertising data. However, it also has the ability to keep audiences engaged. The interactive map chart in Excel is all about picking what to display on the map. It is preferable to ensure that the data can be laid out on the map....

3 Axis Graphs in Excel are the graphs that have three axis. The need for a three-axis arises when the scale of the values is very different. For example, you are given an atom and you want to make a graph between its diameter, melting point, and colloidal nature. If they are plotted on the same scale then the diameter values will be represented as a single line as the melting point will be very value than its diameter. To resolve, this problem you need to have 3 axis for plotting all three different scale values. In this article, we will learn how to create a three-axis graph in excel....

Excel gives many built-in features related to graphs and dataset representations, which help to visualize and analyze data easily. One of these features is the secondary axis, which allows the drawing of multiple series of data on a single graph. A secondary axis is required to represent and easily visualize multiple data series without the use of additional charts. It is very useful when we analyze data series that were measured in different scales and units, and allows us to compare two dissimilar series of data on the same chart....

Obtaining descriptive statistics for data collection may be helpful if you frequently work with huge datasets in Excel. A few key data points are provided by descriptive statistics, which you can utilize to quickly grasp the complete data set....

In Excel, a chart is a tool you may use to visually convey data. Charts are used in Microsoft Excel to provide a graphical representation of any set of data. Scientific, statistical, and technical data are frequently represented and compared using scatter plots. There are two Value Axes in a Scatter chart: a Vertical (y) Value Axis and a Horizontal (x) Value Axis. It creates a single data point by combining the x and y values and presents them in clusters or erratic intervals. Place the data in columns and rows on the spreadsheet to make a scatter chart....
