The correct answer is Microsoft® Excel.
The product that you would typically use to format data and then add it to a chart in Microsoft® Office is Microsoft® Excel. Excel is a spreadsheet program that allows you to organize, analyze, and manipulate data. To add data to a chart in Excel, you would first input or import the data into an Excel worksheet, format it if necessary, and then use the data to create a chart.
Here's how you can add data to a chart in Excel:
1. Open Microsoft® Excel.
2. Input or import the data that you want to add to the chart into an Excel worksheet. Make sure to arrange the data in columns and rows.
3. Format the data as needed. This may include applying number formatting, changing font styles, adding borders, etc.
4. Select the range of data that you want to include in the chart. You can click and drag to select the range or use the Ctrl key with the arrow keys to navigate to the desired range.
5. In the Excel menu, go to the "Insert" tab.
6. Click on the desired chart type from the "Charts" group (e.g., Column, Line, Pie, etc.). A gallery of chart options will appear.
7. Select the specific chart subtype that you want to use.
8. Excel will automatically create a chart based on the selected data range and chart type. The chart will be embedded on the same worksheet or placed on a new worksheet, depending on your Excel settings.
9. Customize the chart further by adding titles, legends, data labels, changing the chart style, and other formatting options. You can do this by selecting different chart elements and using the options available in the "Chart Design" and "Format" tabs that appear when the chart is selected.
By following the above steps, you can add and format data from Excel to create a chart that effectively visualizes your data.
