Chart is an effective way to display data in a pictorial form. Charts make it
easier to draw comparison and analyze the growth, relationship and trends
among the values in a range. It provides more accurate analysis of information.

A column chart displays data in the form of vertical bars whereas a bar chart displays data in
the form of horizontal bars. In column chart, categories and values are represented along
the horizontal and vertical axes respectively whereas in bar charts, categories and values are
represented along the vertical and horizontal axes respectively.

The Chart area includes all the objects and elements in a chart. Plot area is a
window within a Chart area. It contains the actual chart and includes the
plotted data, data series, and category and value axis.

Grouping worksheets facilitates editing of multiple worksheets at the same

time. By grouping worksheets, you can enter common data, formatting effects,
and formulas in the grouped sheets.

Consolidation helps in combining the data of multiple worksheets into a single

worksheet. We can combine data of various ranges either in the same sheet or
in different sheets.

Sparklines are mini charts that fit into a single worksheet cell to provide a
visual representation of the data. These can be used to analyse the trends in
your data. There are three types of sparklines – Line, Column and Win/Loss.
