How to Make a Pictograph on Excel
1. Launch Excel 2010 and open a spreadsheet containing data that can be expressed in a graph. Highlight the cells that you want Excel to include in the graph.
2. Select the 'Insert' tab at the top of the window. Click 'Column' or 'Bar' in the 'Charts' section of the toolbar to generate a graph from the selected data.
3. Double-click one of the graph's bars. This opens a Format Data Point window.
4. Select the 'Fill' heading on the left side of the Format Data Point window.
5. Click to select the 'Picture or Texture Fill' radio button.
6. Click the 'File' button under 'Insert from' and double-click the image you want to use for the selected bar.
7. Click the 'Stack' radio button to display several stacked copies of the selected image in place of the bar, or click the 'Stretch' radio button to display a single image stretched to fill the bar.
8. Click 'OK' and repeat Steps 3 through 7 for the remaining bars of the graph.
