How to Create a Map From an Excel Spreadsheet
1. Insert your data into an Excel worksheet. Include a column heading. For example, put a list of city names in column A (with the heading 'City names' in cell A1), and put a list of ZIP codes in column B (with the heading 'ZIP codes' in cell B1).
2. Click 'File' and then click 'Save.'
3. Click on the top left cell of your data. In the above example, that would be cell A1. Drag the cursor down over your data, to the bottom right corner.
4. Click 'Insert' and then click 'Map.'
5. Click on the area of the worksheet where you want your map to be. Hold the left mouse button and drag the cursor from the top left to the bottom right until the map is the size you want.
6. Let go of the cursor. Excel will display a pop-up menu.
7. Select the type of map you want by clicking on it. Click on 'OK.' Excel will insert the Excel map into your worksheet.
