Understanding chart series

A series is a set of values plotted on a chart. In bar, line, and area charts, each row or column of data represents a series. In pie charts, each pie represents a single series, with each slice showing a data value for that series.



How charts are generated from data

Each series corresponds to a row or column of data.



Working with series

You can:

Change the axis scale (min/max; intervals; tick marks)

Changing the appearance (colors, lines)

Changing the way the data is presented (mixed, stacked, overlap/space)

Annotate (labels)
