    Question Need help to create Excel Graphs with Data Sheet

    My teacher gave us a graph she derived from an excel file and told us to create a list of steps on how to produce the same graph with the Excel data sheet given. How do I even get started? I'm new to Excel ;(

    Re: Need help to create Excel Graphs with Data Sheet

    I know it is frustrating to get stuck on a homework problem. You might be somewhat new to Excel, but I cannot believe that this is a pre-class exercise for the very first class for people who have never even touched a spreadsheet. I have to believe that you have had several class periods with several homework assignments before this, so you must know something about using a spreadsheet.

    You show a raw database of information, and your questions are asking you to draw some summary conclusions from that database. What tools and/or functions are you familiar with for extracting information from a database or for summarizing information in a database? You show a chart that you are supposed to create based on that extracted/summarized information. What tools and strategies are you familiar with for creating charts in a spreadsheet?

    While education in Singapore is pretty much like this, it is actually my second lesson of Revenue Management and they did not even touch on excel yet. From my basic knowledge of excel, I select the entire table of data and go to recommended graphs but it does not turn out the way I expected. I'm not sure how she managed to get her prices for each day of the week sum up together like that.

    That's rough. Are you familiar with pivot tables and charts in Excel? https://www.excel-easy.com/data-****...ot-tables.html

    This is my first time hearing pivot tables. I decided to test it out using the link you provided, and I managed to get something similar! Just need a way to add the total amount in $ on top of each bar.Attachment 846933
