Chart Type | Type of chart. Pie—Represents item values as slices of a pie. Bar—Represents an item’s value as the height of a rectangular bar. Area—Highlights an individual item’s significance relative to other items. Line—Highlights trends by drawing connecting lines between data points. Stacked Bar—Graphically highlights an individual item’s comparative significance using rectangular bars. Overlapped Bar—Graphically highlights the contribution of individual items, within categories, to the total value. Floating Bar—Represents an item's values as the height of a rectangular floating bar. Histogram—Displays frequencies of each category from categorical variables. 100% Bar—Graphically highlights a category’s contribution to the total, using rectangular bars. 100% Area—Highlights a category’s contribution to the total. Stacked Area—Highlights an individual item’s significance to a total using enclosed polygons. High Low Close—Represents high, low, and final values of an individual item over time. Combo—Combines two types of charts. (Pie, Radar, and Area Radar charts do not support multiple data views.) XY-Scatter-PlotCompares pairs of values. Bubble—Compares sets of three values. Like a scatter chart with the third value displayed as the size of the bubble marker. Radar—Plots data as a function of distance from a central point. Polar—Specifies points as an angle and a distance from the origin. Often used for scientific purposes. Candle Stick—A type of Hi-Lo-Open-Close chart that draws four series together as a candle bar. Area Radar—Similar to Radar charts except that the are between the origin and the points is filled.
