Relationship to table data

Charts are created according to table data.

In a rectangular chart (bar chart, line chart, or area chart), the category axis labels and data series names are determined according to whether data series are in rows or columns in the source data table.

In a circular chart (radar chart, pie chart, or doughnut chart), data displayed as data series vary depending on whether data series are in rows or columns in the source data table.

The relationship between charts and the directions of categories and data series in the source data is as follows:

  • For rectangle charts (bar chart, line chart, and area chart)

    • Data series direction: row
