2. Highlight the cells with your data by left clicking on the top left of the cells then dragging the cursor to the bottom right of the cells.
3. Click on the 'Insert' tab.
4. Click on the column' tab, then click on the column sub-type you want. For example, click on a '2-D Column' icon. Excel will insert a chart into your worksheet.
