Advanced Charts in Brief

We will see all the advanced charts briefly.

Waterfall Chart

A Waterfall chart is a form of data visualization that helps in understanding the cumulative effect of sequentially introduced positive or negative values.

Band Chart

A Band chart is a Line chart with added shaded areas to display the upper and lower boundaries of the defined data ranges.

Gantt Chart

A Gantt chart is a chart in which a series of horizontal lines depicting tasks, task duration and task hierarchy are used planning and tracking projects.

Thermometer Chart

A Thermometer chart keeps track of a single task, for e.g. completion of work, representing the current status as compared to a Target. It displays the percentage of the task completed, taking Target as 100%.

Gauge Chart

Gauge charts, also referred to as Dial charts or Speedometer charts, use a pointer or a needle to show information as a reading on a dial.

Bullet Chart

Bullet charts support the comparison of a measure to one or more related measures with a linear design.

Funnel Chart

Funnel chart is used to visualize the progressive reduction of data as it passes from one phase to another in a process.

Waffle Chart

Waffle chart is a 10 10 cell grid with the cells colored as per conditional formatting to portray a percent value such % work complete.

Heat Map

A Heat Map is a visual representation of data in a Table to highlight the data points of significance.

Step Chart

A Step chart is a Line chart that uses vertical and horizontal lines to connect the data points in a series, forming a step-like progression.

Box and Whisker Chart

Box and Whisker charts, also referred to as Box Plots are commonly used in statistical analysis. In a Box and Whisker chart, numerical data is divided into quartiles and a box is drawn between the first and third quartiles, with an additional line drawn along the second quartile to mark the median. The minimums and maximums outside the first and third quartiles are depicted with lines, which are called whiskers. Whiskers indicate variability outside the upper and lower quartiles, and any point outside the whiskers is considered as an outlier.

Histogram

A Histogram is a graphical representation of the distribution of numerical data and is widely used in Statistical Analysis. A Histogram is represented by rectangles with lengths corresponding to the number of occurrences of a variable in successive numerical intervals.

Pareto Chart

Pareto chart is widely used in Statistical Analysis for decision-making. It represents the Pareto principle, also called 80/20 Rule, which states that 80% of the results are due to 20% of the causes.

Organization Chart

An Organization chart graphically represents the management structure of an organization.

Though some of these charts are included in Excel 2016, Excel 2013 and earlier versions do not have them as built-in charts. In this tutorial, you will learn how to create these charts from the built-in chart types in Excel.
