Book Overview
Excel is the most popular tool for number crunching on the PC, but the challenge is in putting a meaningful face on those raw numbers. That's where Excel Charts For Dummies comes in. Ken Bluttman will show readers how to professionally display data in presentation-quality charts. But he'll go beyond showing readers how to create attractive charts--he'll explain why to use specific charts in particular circumstances. Lots of real-world examples will show "the good, the bad, and the ugly" of Excel charts. He will cover the whole range of charts in step-by-step tutorials--whether it's pies, scatter plots, or PivotCharts. He'll show how to embed graphics and pictures into charts; then use them in impressive PowerPoint presentations or Microsoft Word documents. He'll also show how to use charts for statistical analysis--and how charts can skew the stats and deceive. This book will feature a 16-page full-color insert of the best Excel charts "works of art."

The best book for charts
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 19 years ago
I never created charts and with the help of this book, I can create charts effortlessly. Once again, author Bluttman has made difficult computer concepts easy for everyone, including someone like me, who actually has a phobia when it comes to complicated computer applications. I plan to purchase all of the books by Author Bluttman, because he is a gifted, clear and helpful writer. I highly recommend this book.
