Computer Science 1: Charts

          In Excel, there are 5 kinds of charts that were introduced to us.

• Column Chart is used to visually compare values across a few categories.
• Bar Chart has a similar use with the column chart only that the category texts are longer.
• Line Chart shows trends over time or categories.
• Area Chart shows trends over time or categories. Use it to highlight the magnitude of change over time.
• Pie Chart is used to show proportions of a whole. 

          We had an exciting activity about this. It was quite hard but very challenging. During these past few weeks, I've learned how to be careful in typing formulas and selecting cells.

Here is an example of a Column Chart showing the populations of some animals from Jan. to June.
