Charts are graphic representations of spreadsheet data. Their visual nature expedites quick analysis, color coding, and cues that aid comparisons.
Charts, depending on the chart type, can display one to four dimensions. Pie charts only display one dimension; quadrant charts offer more complex displays.
Charts can be rendered using a variety of chart types:
Chart Type | Compares |
|---|---|
Bar | Similar elements, represented as vertical bars. |
Line | Items over time. |
Spline | Displays the document as a spline chart. |
Pie | Contributions. |
Area | Items over time. |
Curve Area | Items over time, represented as a curved area. |
Horizontal Bar | Similar elements. |
Marks | Items over time. |
Pareto | Trends in data. |
Box | Displays the document as a box plot chart. |
Quadrant | Two members from one dimension over time. |
Bubble | Displays the document as a Bubble chart. |
Only the first 50 dimension members can be accommodated on chart axes.
