Google Sheets: How to create a chart

By March 23, 2013Blog, Video

In less than three minutes, learn how to create a chart in Google Sheets, the spreadsheet program in Google Drive. It’s very easy — basically you need to select some data in the spreadsheet, press a button, and select a few customization options (type of chart, colors, fonts, etc.). It’s even easier than Microsoft Excel’s chart wizard.

The video below shows the steps involved, using a simple example. The narrator is the author of Google Drive and Docs In 30 Minutes, which you can buy here. To expand the video to full screen, press the icon at the bottom of the video.
