1.2 Editing the Excel report to update graphs
- Open the Excel report and click on the first worksheet tab, the Summary
The Clients included on this tab are segmented by bands of dollar values. There are 4 graphs that will be updated once the figures have been converted.
NOTE: You may need to click on a Microsoft warning at the top of your screen to enable editing.
- We need to highlight all of the cells in the content of the table including the totals, but not the dollar
- Once the cells are highlighted, click on the little warning triangle shape and choose “Convert to Number” from the list.
The graphs will now be updated on the Summary tab.
- Now click on the Revenue
We have 3 graphs that will be updated once we have edited 2 of the tables of data.
- For the first table, we need to highlight all of the cells in the content of the table including the totals, but not the dollar bands. Once the cells are highlighted, click on the little warning triangle shape and choose “Convert to Number” from the list.
- For the 2nd table of data, again we need to highlight all of the cells in the content of the table including the totals, but not the Months. Once the cells are highlighted, click on the little warning triangle shape and choose “Convert to Number” from the list.
The 3 graphs will now be updated. The graphs can easily be resized by clicking on the contents and dragging them to the position or size you prefer. Legends can also be resized or shifted to suit the output of your document.
