Column graph data
•
For column, stacked column, bar, and stacked bar graphs, the height of the column or length of the bar corre
sponds to the amount being compared. For column or bar graphs, you can combine positive and negative values;
negative values appear as columns extending below the horizontal axis. For stacked column graphs, numbers must
be all positive or all negative.
•
For line graphs, each column of data corresponds to one line in the line graph. You can combine positive and
negative values in a line graph.
•
For area graphs, values must be all positive or all negative. Each row of data entered corresponds to a filled area
on the area graph. Area graphs add each column’s values to the previous column’s totals. Therefore, even if area
graphs and line graphs contain the same data, they appear substantially different.
•
For radar graphs, each number is plotted on an axis and connected to the others in the same axis to create a “web.”
You can combine positive and negative values in a radar graph.
