Change the chart type

Office Web Components

Change the chart type

  1. In the design window, make sure the chart is activated. For instructions, see Help for your design program.

  2. Do one of the following:

    • To change the chart type for the entire chart, select the chart workspace by clicking the blank area outside the plot area but within the chart boundaries.

    • To change the chart type for an individual data series, select the data series.

      Note   When you change the chart type for an individual series, you are creating a combination chart. Not all chart types can be combined. For example, you cannot combine 2-D and 3-D chart types, nor can you combine bar and column charts, or column and pie charts.

  3. On the toolbar, click Chart Type Button image.
  4. In the list, click the chart type you want, and then click the subtype you want.
