Chart Section

The Chart section enables you to see meaningful summaries of your data. Graphic snapshots help you recognize patterns, trends, and other relationships that might not be apparent in columns and rows of tabular data.

The Chart section opens with an initial plot area for the chart. Because chart construction and manipulation is managed with the data layout, plotting, viewing, and reviewing are easy and intuitive. Charts respond dynamically to your commands. When you make a change in a charted item, you see your chart instantly redrawn to reflect the change. Experimenting with different combinations of data can be surprisingly informative.
