Creating a Chart
The first step in creating a chart is to build a worksheet that contains data to chart. Many
business charts are created from summary data. If your dataset contains transactional data,
you should also consider summarizing the data using either a pivot table or formulas.
In Figure 1.13, the original dataset contained detailed transactional data. In order to create
summary data to be used in a chart, new rows were inserted at the top of the worksheet,
and a summary table was created using the new
SUMIFS function. The formulas in C2:E4
create conditional sums to find the total revenue for each combination of product and year.
