   • Chart values: Show data values directly on each bar or segment.

   • Axis labels: Show or hide the text or numbers on the axes.

Different chart types work best depending on the data you want to present. Here are some ideas to help you pick the right one and decide how to use it:

• Line: Best for showing how something changes over time and spotting trends. For example, track monthly sales for the last year to highlight growth or dips.

• Vertical bar: Best for comparing categories side by side. For example, use it to compare how many tickets were sold for different event types.

• Horizontal bar: Best for ranking many categories from highest to lowest, especially when category names are long. For example, rank survey responses by the top reasons for joining a program.

• Donut: Best for showing parts of a whole when you want space in the middle for a key number or short label. For example, show how an annual budget is split between various departments in your company.

• Pie: Best for simple breakdowns where you want to show how a small number of categories add up to 100 percent. For example, show how your class voted for the next field trip destination.
