Creating a chart sheet

Sometimes, you may want to create a chart and place it on a separate sheet in the workbook. This is called a Chart Sheet. Chart sheets can make your charts stand out, particularly when working with complicated spreadsheets.

To Move an Embedded Chart to a Chart Sheet:
  • Create an embedded chart.
  • Select the chart to be moved to a chart sheet.
  • Choose Chart Location from the menu bar.

    Chart and Location Menu Selections

  • In the Chart Location dialog box, select the As a new sheet radio button.

    (The As object in radio button adds the chart as an embedded object on the worksheet.)

    Chart Location Dialog Box

  • Click the OK button. The chart is displayed on a separate Chart Sheet in the Workbook.
