Creating a chart

We will use the small table of data in Figure 38 to demonstrate what we can do with Calc's charting and graphing capabilities.

To create a chart, first highlight (select) the data to be included in the chart, as shown in Figure 39.

Next, open the AutoFormat Chart dialog using one of two methods.

• Click on a cell in the area of the spreadsheet where you want the chart to appear, and then select Insert > Chart from the menu bar as shown in Figure 40.

• Or, click on the Chart icon on the main toolbar (Figure 41) and then click in a cell in the area of the spreadsheet where you wish the chart to be.

Either method will bring up the Auto format Chart dialog (Figure 42).
