Summarising data

I have multiple data that I wish to turn into a graph/chart for ease of understanding and that I can also use in Powerpoint.
However, presenting this in one chart looks too 'busy' how can I present this in an easy to view fashion?

RE: Summarising data

Hi Daniel,

Thank you for the forum question.

You can try to change the chart type to see if another chart type is more useful for you data or you can instead of having all the data in one chart create a suitable number of charts.

Sometimes changing the value axis can also make a chart easier to understand or working with a secondary value axis for some of the values.

Which solution is the best for you can be difficult to say without looking at your data. If you want me to advise you I will need to see your data.

You can send the workbook to:

Thank you.

Excel tip:

Closing Multiple Workbooks quickly

When you have several workbooks open in Excel and want to just close them all at once:

1) Hold down the SHIFT key before selecting the File menu.

2) Once in File menu release SHIFT key and select Close All option.

3) All your files will close. If files require saving Excel will ask if you want to save the changes.
