Inserting and Changing a Diagram

A number of diagram types will probably be familiar to most business people: the pyramid, which shows a hierarchical relationship; the target, which uses a ring of concentric circles to display the approach to a target; the Venn diagram, which shows the intersection of items in various sets; and the cycle, which displays the steps in a repeating process. Rather than make you create these diagrams on your own, you can have Excel create the basic diagram and let you fill in the details. After you’ve created the diagram, you can apply an AutoFormat to alter its appearance.
