In this first example, we show two kinds of graphs. The first, a column graph, is made (in Excel 2000-4) by first selecting the data block B6:D10. Then we click the Chart Wizard toolbar button, and follow the steps of the dialogs to create the column graph. In Excel 2007+, we use the command Insert>Column>Clustered Column.
The second graph is a pie chart. In Excel 2000-4, you create it by first selecting the range B7:C10 and then using the Chart Wizard. In Excel 2007+, use the command Insert>Pie>2-D Pie.
Both of these graphs can also be inserted as sheets in the workbook. In Excel 2000-4, the choice of on-worksheet vs. as-sheet is in the Chart Wizard. In Excel 2007+, you make that choice by first creating the chart on the worksheet, then clicking right on its border to expose the shortcut menu. Finally choose the command Move Chart…, and move it to a new sheet.
This is the pie chart from the previous example, except it's inserted as a page of the workbook.
Now we're looking at the Mailings data as a stacked area chart. In effect, this is a series of pie charts, unwound as columns, one for each category.
The same data, plotted as a 3D column graph. 3D graphs are difficult to understand, because the perspective makes it difficult to compare data points. In this case, the distant data is higher, but such isn't always the case. When the distant data is lower, it can be completely obscured.
