Changing chart styles-
Charts are a better way to express data in an
effective manner. Creating a chart is easy but
giving the matching style to the chart is
challenging. According to the data set, a
proper style is more effective for the expressed
data, and different charts will be used. The
most preferred styles are simple and which
gives more clarity to your data.
A different type of charts are available to
picture your data, and these more styles are
available to make your charts more effective.
You can either customize the chart styles or
use the predefined layout styles. Once you
select the chart type, the different styles will be
listed right next to the chart type, as shown
below.
Steps to change chart in style-
Step 1: Select the table and go to the insert menu. From
the chart option, you can select a different chart style. A
commonly used style is the column chart or bar chart.
Since the data shows sales amount against different
years column chart will be more suitable.
Step 2: A column chart is also known as a bar chart. Insert a
bar chart from the list. Bar charts look like different bars with
both vertical and horizontal styles available.
Step 3: Select a style from 2D charts. Now the chart will be
inserted into the spreadsheet.
Step 4: Let’s see how to format the charts once inserted. We
have different options to change the color and texture of the
inserted bars. Select the inserted chart and then press Ctrl+1,
a shortcut for formatting the chart. This will provide a sidebar
next to the chart with different options to fill the bars will
different colors, change the background texture, etc.
Step 5: It is available with some built-in theme or style that
you can adopt for the inserted chart. Select the inserted chart,
and you will get the design menu in the menu bar.
Step 6: Click on the design menu. It will provide a list of
chart styles. The different chart styles available.
Resizing and moving charts-
Excel, by default, the charts are moved and sized with cells. Whenever we
change the size of cells in an excel sheet, the excel will automatically adjust the
size of the chart accordingly. Excel also provides us the option for chart
positioning without changing the cell’s size. Usually, we move or change the
size of the chart within excel to ensure that the chart will not cover its
underlying data. We can move the chart to a new location in the worksheet or to
a new or existing worksheet. Also, we resize or change the size of the chart for a
better fit in the worksheet.
Note: We can resize the chart, move a chart within a worksheet or we can also
move to a new worksheet.
Moving Charts in Excel
In Excel, We can easily move charts. Let us discuss with the help of an example. Suppose
we have a chart that represents random sales data in different cities of 3 different
states(You can use any dataset and insert a chart using the dataset and implement the
following moving and resizing behavior). Now we will move this chart.

Move a chart within a worksheet


In this example, we will move a char within the same excel worksheet.
Usually, we perform these operations in order to avoid the overlapping
between the data and the charts. Following is the step-by-step
implementation.
Step 1: Insert and Select the chart In this step, first, we’ll need to insert a
chart(Here, we are using Bar Chart). Once we have created a chart then we
need to select it, for this, we have to click over our chart and select it.
Step 2: Position the chart Once we have selected the chart, we can position
the chat to a new location by dragging it using the chart’s border (We can also
do that by double-clicking to hold the chart and drag to a new position and
rest it there).
Resizing Charts in Excel
Resizing of the chart includes an increase or decrease
in the length or
. breadth of the chart. This could be
easily done by holding the graph’s endpoint and
dragging them to increase or decrease the size of the
graph. Following is the step-by-step implementation.
Step 1: Insert and Select the chart
In this step, first, we will need to insert a chart(Here, we
are using Bar Chart). Once we have created the chart we
need to select it, for this, we have to click over our chart
Step 2: Resizing the chart
In this step, we will resize the chart. For resizing the chart
excel provides eight sizing handles in the chart. We can click
on these handles and drag the size of the chart according to
our requirements.
