  • Creating a Simple Chart

    From Mike Copeland@21:1/5 to All on Sat Aug 5 16:31:13 2023
    I have an Excel spreadsheet with the following data (and other
    columns, too) from which I want to create some sort of chart.
    After trying Google and the Excel help topics on Chart, I am unable to
    follow the simplest directions...because the suggested steps don't work. Specifically, after selecting a data I want and clicking the Insert tab,
    the options in the "Charts" group are all greyed out excdept for the "PivotChart". Nothing I try gets past this; no options are available.
    Please advise. TIS

    Is it too late to answer your question? I know it's like... forever ago
    but I just joined this ng and saw your post.

    Not too late as far as I'm concerned. I never got an answer for it
    (perhaps my query was deemed too simple to answer...), and I'd still
    like to know how to do it. TIA

    Well, I'm no pro on excel but then I'm not a newb either. Distilling
    what you're asking, that bit of data from the three columns, you'd like
    to put on a chart and the wizard is giving you a hard time?

    Is the pivotchart part of the data selected?
