the advance features of charts in Excel. * an exabyte is 1,000 bytes to the sixth power.
Once you have inserted the chart, you can easily edit

a chart’s layout and style from the Design tab.
Excel allows you to add chart elements—such as but not

limited to chart titles, legends, and data labels—to make

your chart easier to read. To add a chart element, click
the Add Chart Element command on the Design tab, then
choose the desired element from the drop-down menu.

Here we define some of the most frequently used chart

elements that you would use.

• Chart title: allows to give a meaningful to your chart.
• Legends: represents entries on the plotted area of chart

or graph which are linked to the data table of the chart or graph.
• Data lables: allows to identify a data series in a chart.

Adding Chart Title

To edit a chart element, like a chart title, simply double-click the placeholder and begin
typing.
