Creating a chart

A chart shows at a glance how numbers relate to each other. LibreOffice also calls it a chart.

In LibreOffice Calc

1. Select the data, including the headings, for example the months and the revenue.
2. Choose Insert > Chart.... The Chart Wizard opens.
3. Under Chart Type, choose a type: column, bar, pie, line, area and more.
4. Under Data Range, check that the first row and column are used as labels.
5. Under Chart Elements, enter a title and axis titles, and choose whether you want a legend.
6. Click Finish.

To make changes, double-click the chart. Then double-click a part, such as the title, an axis or a data series, to change it. Click outside the chart when you're done. If you change a number in the table, the chart updates automatically.

In Euro-Office

Select the data and, on the Insert tab, click Chart. Choose a type, or Recommended Chart if you're not sure. In the chart settings on the right, you can adjust the style and type.

Tip: charts from Excel carry over to Calc and Euro-Office. Newer Excel chart types, such as a waterfall chart, may look different. Check them after opening the file.
