To give a dierent emphasis to your data, you can transpose the data so that data

points are grouped by region rather than by year. In this case, the data points for each

year are represented as a series of columns (data series; in this case each series has

only two data points and the groups of columns for each region are categories. So

this column chart contains two sets of four columns (data points), one category for

Region 1 and one data set for Region 2.

The chart legend denotes

the two data series.

Each data set contains two bars,

one from each data series.

These four bars of the

same color represent one

data series.

Each bar represents

one data point.

Data series are represented dierently in dierent kinds of charts:

In Â column charts and bar charts, a data series is represented by a series of columns or

bars in the same ll color or texture.

In a Â line chart , a data series is represented by a single line.

In an Â area chart, a data series is represented by an area shape.

In a Â pie chart, only a single data set (the rst data point in each series) is represented

on the chart (whichever is listed rst in the Chart Data Editor).

In a Â scatter chart, each point on the graph is determined by both an x and a y value.

Two columns of values are plotted as x coordinates and y coordinates on a graph

representing the data points in a single data series.
