Relationship between different sections of data

Which one of the following options is a visual representations of data from a worksheet or Excel table that displays the relationship between the different sections of data?
- Sparkline
- Link
- Illustration
- Chart

RE: Relationship between different sections of data

SmartArt Graphic seems correct answer to me. If yes, then which specific SmartArt graphic type can do the following?

Also, I think chart may be a correct answer too. Doesn't it provide a visual representation of data?

RE: Relationship between different sections of data

Hi Jagparvesh

SmartArt Graphic was not one of the original options suggested so I would suggest for that reason it is not the right response.

I believe a Chart is the correct answer.

RE: Relationship between different sections of data

In agreement with David here: a Chart is the way to go.

Sparklines are mini-charts (they fit in one cell). They're linked to the data, but tiny.
Links are connections with other sheets, databases, etc. Thus they're a link to other data, not a display.
Illustrations: yes, you can use your own illustration, but it's a manual solution, and isn't linked with the data.
SmartArt is more capable than illustration, but it's still your 'manual' picture, rather than using the power of Excel!

Thank you.
All answers are useful.

Excel tip:

Generating Random Numbers

To generate a random number in Excel use the = RAND() function.

The value returned will always be between 0 and 1. To convert this to some other random value, you will need to multiply the result by the highest number you want to consider. For example, if you wanted a random number between 1 and 25, you could use the following code line:
= INT(25 * RAND()+ 1)

Since RAND() will always returns a value between 0 and 1 (but never 1 itself), multiplying what it returns by 25 and then using the Integer function INT on that result will return a whole number between 0 and 24.

Finally, 1 is added to this result, so that x will be equal to a number between 1 and 25, inclusive
