From Here…

This chapter explained all of the Excel chart types, what each one is good (and bad) for, and any special features or properties of the various chart types and subtypes. This chapter, along with the previous two chapters, gives you a solid grounding in creating Excel charts and in using them to present data effectively. From here, consider the following topics:

• Chapter 13, "Drawing with Excel," explains how to use all of Excel's drawing tools. The built-in drawing tools in Excel are powerful and can meet many needs. Of particular interest are the creative ways they can be used to annotate your charts.

• Learn all about Excel databases in Part IV, "Creating and Using Excel Databases." Excel databases often provide data that needs to be charted.

• Part V, "Analyzing Your Data," shows you tools and features that make it easier to analyze your worksheet data.
