Choosing the Chart Type

To choose the type of chart you want to create, click the ‘Chart’ menu at the top of the ‘Edit chart’ screen.

A list of available chart types will be displayed. Either scroll through the list to view the available options or type the name of the chart type in the ‘Type to filter’ field to filter the list.

Example

Text has been entered into the ‘Type to filter’ section to filter the list for Pie chart types.

You do not need to enter the full chart type name; the list will be filtered automatically to show possible matches as you type.

Click the required chart type to select it. The Preview area on the right-hand side of the screen will now show the data objects that are suggested to build this chart.

Example

This example shows that a Pie Variable Radius chart has been selected and the data that is suggested to create the chart.
