Charts for Excel Sheet

Column chart
This type of graph emphasizes the variations of the data over time. The data
categories will appear on the horizontal axis and the values will appear on the
vertical axis. Column charts are similar to bar charts. The main difference is that
the categories appear on the vertical axis in bar charts.

Line chart
A line chart shows the relationships of changes in data. This chart is similar to
area charts. The line charts emphasize trends in the data and not the change
amounts like area charts.

Pie chart
These graphs can contain a single data series. They show the percentages of
each of the parts for the total.
Doughnut Chart
Data that's arranged in columns or rows only on a worksheet can be plotted in
a doughnut chart. Like a pie chart, a doughnut chart shows the relationship of
parts to a whole, but it can contain more than one data series.

Bar Chart
A bar chart emphasizes the comparison between items in a specific period. This
chart type includes cones, cylinders, and pyramids.
Area Chart
Area charts suggest that the values are important over time. An area chart is
like a line chart. However, since the area between the lines is filled in, the area
chart places greater importance on the magnitude of the values than a line
chart.

XY Plots (Scatter)
Scatter plots help show the relationship between different data points. This
type of chart uses numeric values for both axes instead of categories on either
axis as in previous charts.
Types of scatter plots -Scatter with smooth lines and markers, Scatter chart
with smooth lines, Scatter with straight lines and markers, Scatter chart with
straight lines, Bubble chart, and 3-D Bubble.

Surface Chart
Data that's arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet can be plotted in a
surface chart. This chart is useful when you want to find optimum
combinations between two sets of data. As in a topographic map, colors and
patterns indicate areas that are in the same range of values. You can create a
surface chart when both categories and data series are numeric values.

Stock chart
Stock charts are also called candlestick charts. They represent the price
performance of a stock or a stock market index. They are easy to use. In each
candlestick, you can see the opening market price of the action together with
the closing price. In addition, the colour indicates whether the price has risen
or fallen.

Types of Stock Charts


 High-Low-Close
 Open-High-Low-Close
 Volume-High-Low-Close
 Volume-Open-High-Low-Close
Treemap
Treemap allows you to see the data distribution for one variable, just like pie
charts. The data is represented in the form of rectangles.
Sunburst Chart
The sunburst chart is ideal for displaying hierarchical data and can be plotted
when empty (blank) cells exist within the hierarchal structure. Each level of the
hierarchy is represented by one ring or circle with the innermost circle as the
top of the hierarchy. A sunburst chart without any hierarchical data (one level
of categories), looks similar to a doughnut chart. However, a sunburst chart
with multiple levels of categories shows how the outer rings relate to the inner
rings. The sunburst chart is most effective at showing how one ring is broken
into its contributing pieces.

Solar Burst Chart


A solar burst chart allows you to display hierarchical data in the form of a circle.
Each data is displayed in a ring, with the inner circles being the hierarchy
superior to the outer circles.

The above chart shows that the number of transit buses was the highest in
2020, represented by the biggest share in the ring.

Histogram
Data plotted in a histogram chart shows the frequencies within a distribution.
Each column of the chart is called a bin, which can be changed to further
analyse your data.

Box and whisker chart


A box and whisker chart is a type of chart in Excel that allows you to see the
symmetry of the data distribution. It will enable graphing in a standardized way
the minimum and maximum values, the three distribution quartiles, the
interquartile range, the median, the atypical data, and the range without
atypical data. The following graph represents the monthly expenditure
distribution from a personal dataset.

Waterfall chart
You can create a waterfall chart for analysis of the evolution of a variable in
data of the period and accumulated data. The following example talks about a
company's net income. The Waterfall chart is color-coded in Blue and Orange.
Here, orange denotes the amount spent, and blue denotes the revenues
earned and the overall profit made by the company.

Funnel Charts
Funnel charts show values across multiple stages in a process.
Typically, the values decrease gradually, allowing the bars to resemble a funnel.

Radar Chart
Data that's arranged in columns or rows on a worksheet can be plotted in a
radar chart. Radar charts compare the aggregate values of several data series.

Combo chart
A combo chart or combination chart is an interesting feature of Excel. It allows
you to insert more than one typology in the same graph with two axes, which is
beneficial for comparing variables.
The above example shows the marks obtained by a group of students against
the maximum marks (100). The red bar on the X-axis denotes the maximum
marks, and the blue bars denote the marks obtained by the students.
Map Chart
You can use a Map Chart to compare values and show categories across
geographical regions. Use it when you have geographical regions in your data,
like countries/regions, states, counties or postal codes.
For example, Countries by Population uses values. The values represent the
total population in each country, with each portrayed using a gradient
spectrum of two colors. The color for each region is dictated by where along
the spectrum its value falls with respect to the others.
