I'm honestly starting to get tired of graphs that look like they were constructed by writing on napkins with a crayon being supported by the gap in between front teeth. For those of you that have Excel, note this handy guide I wrote while I was procrastinating:

I updated the pictures to be full images rather than thumbnails.

Someone needs to write you a guide on how to make direct links to images, instead of these tiny thumbnails.

EDIT: Oh dang, too slow.

I normally use the direct link to images item but tried using the forums one. Unfortunately there's no preview button when making a blog so I usually end up just editing code after I post.

LOL that guide was pretty sweet, although it look to me that everyone purposely makes their graphs like that for maximum epicness

Why don't blog stats work anymore?

I.e. views per day and such. When I had my 'Me vs Fakesteve' blog, it had over 1000 views, but it didn't register.

Posted one recently and those views didn't register either.

Why is this?

wow

this guide is so disappointingly full of fail

you select the data first, and then you click insert graph

saves you at least 3 seconds

none of fiddling with data sources uselessness

man, I kinda feel bad for you actually since you've wasted so much of your life doing it wrong

Lol your way would work with the data I put there, but would fail miserably for a more complicated problem. The method I use is good if you are planning on doing a lot of data etc and doesn't take long anyway.

i.e. more versatile

edit: btw funny, I think

i fail to see why micronesia's guide bothers you so much. its the same thing in a little bit different order. and while there's nothing wrong with contributing to the op, i don't think its right to say he fails. either way, it is a valid guide.

haha, nah I just hate entering in data sources like that since it's not terribly intuitive (especially in older versions of Excel). And if you're making a basic Excel chart-making guide, I doubt their data is going to be complicated enough anyway =P

I think the demographic here is smart, computer savvy people who can figure out excel once we get them started, but haven't made graphs in it before... using my guide, theoretically, they have what they need to develop their knowledge into a full understanding of the graphing tools pretty easily. Your shortcut is more suitable for those who are pretty bad at this kind of stuff to begin with, and just need a solution to their simple problem and nothing more. Oh well; either works.

The thought never crossed my mind that the reason people used paint was because they didn't know how to graph in excel.

It's really expensive, I am lucky the computers at my university have the program installed.
Well, I'm sure you are able to find it online somewhere..
