Making Various Charts in Excel

You can make any type of chart you choose using Excel. Most computers have the Excel program installed. The Excel icon looks like this:

1. You need to label your vertical (& horizontal, in some cases) columns.
2. Type in ‘values’ in the column (I sequenced my patient needs from 4-1). 
3. Move your cursor over the columns while pressing the left mouse button (ie. highlight the columns).

Note: this is only an example.

1. select chart type (this shows “pie”)
2. don’t change any numbers in step 2
3. create a title (it will appear in the middle of your page)
4. chart location – choose “as new sheet”

When the pie chart appears, click on any segment of the chart. A menu box will appear. Check “category name”. This will make your labels appear.
