    Charts

    Hi everyone,

    I received an excel spreadsheet with absence dates, reasons, departments and genders and i need to create 5 different charts for analysing the data. This is a school assignment and it is my first time doing charts.
    I need to create 5 different charts:
    [*] trends across departments[*] Absence by type[*] absence by gender[*] total days lost[*] annual total costs

    When i select the whole row of data, for example the gender, then click on insert, then charts, it does bring out the chart but it doesnt show the data or when it does show the date it is crumbled together on the top.

    How do i make the requested charts out of this data correctly?

    Re: Charts

    Can you attach a sample spreadsheet?

    And as someone who does what your class assignment is for a living - determining days lost by gender would give HR a seizure. S.e.X discrimination is a big no-no.

    Re: Charts

    as this is a homework assignment , i wont do it for you
    how about putting up the sample spreadsheet and what you have tried so far

    i would hope the teacher has gone through charts with you and this is NOT
    school assignment and it is my first time doing charts.

    Note: Images are difficult to see , and also requires that I input all the data myself, which means I may make an error, which is very time consuming, and from my point of view less likely to get a response, if a complicated spreadsheet.

    A sample sheet would help here

    The forum does allow for spreadsheets to be uploaded direct to the forum -

    Please see the Yellow Banner at the top of the page explaining how to attach a sample spreadsheet

    A good sample workbook has just 10-20 rows of representative data that has been desensitised. It also has expected results mocked up, relevant cells highlighted and a few explanatory notes.

    Here are the instructions, found at the top of the page again
    Post a small Excel sheet (not a picture) showing realistic & representative sample data WITHOUT confidential information (10-20 rows, not thousands...) and some manually calculated results. For a new thread (1st post), scroll to Manage Attachments, otherwise scroll down to GO ADVANCED, click, and then scroll down to MANAGE ATTACHMENTS and click again. Now follow the instructions at the top of that screen.

    Re: Charts

    Thank you for both, It is not a primary or high school assignment, I am doing my diploma in HR and one of the question was chart, what I didn't need to do so far. I was seeking an alternative mode to make charts from data and i found the pivot charts, it worked.
