• For line graphs, enter numbers repre-
senting quantities along the y axis;
enter numbers representing time along
the x axis. Each column of data corre-
sponds to one line in the line graph. You
can combine positive and negative
values in a line graph.
• For pie graphs, plot only one row of
data, either all positive or all negative
values. If you plot additional rows of
data, a separate pie graph is created
for each additional row. You cannot
combine positive and negative values.
The size of the individual pie graphs
is proportional to the total of each
graph’s data.
• For area graphs, plot at least two rows
of data; values must be all positive or all
negative. Each row of data entered
corresponds to a filled area on the area
graph. Area graphs add each column’s
values to the previous column’s totals.
Therefore, even if area graphs and line
graphs contain the same data, they
appear substantially different.
