When I get to the series part of Microsoft Excel 2003 during graphing, what am I supposed to do?
To create a series in Microsoft Excel 2003 during graphing, you can follow these steps:
1. Open Microsoft Excel 2003 and navigate to the worksheet where you want to create the graph.
2. Enter your data into the worksheet. Make sure that you have the values for the x-axis and the corresponding values for the y-axis.
3. Once you have entered the data, select the entire range of data by clicking and dragging the mouse over the cells that contain your data.
4. With the data range selected, go to the toolbar at the top of the Excel window and click on the "Insert" menu.
5. In the Insert menu, you will find various types of charts and graphs. Choose the type of graph that you want to create. For example, if you want to create a line graph, select "Line" from the options.
6. After selecting the type of graph, Excel will insert the graph in your worksheet. Your data will be plotted on the graph based on the selected chart type.
7. To modify or customize your graph, you can right-click on different elements of the graph (axis, legend, data points, etc.) and choose the appropriate options from the context menu.
8. If you want to add additional series to your graph, go to the toolbar and click on the "Chart" menu. Then, select "Source Data" and a dialog box will open.
9. In the Source Data dialog box, click on the "Series" tab. Here, you can add or remove series by clicking on the "Add" or "Remove" buttons.
10. To define the range of data for each series, you can use the text boxes under the "Series values" section. Click on the button next to the text box and select the range of cells that contain the data for each series.
11. Once you have added the new series and defined the data range, click "OK" to apply the changes. The graph will be updated to include the new series.
By following these steps, you will be able to create and customize series in Microsoft Excel 2003 during graphing.
