In MS Excel, how do you add a chart?

Correct answer: Insert. In MS Excel, charts are added from the Insert tab (Charts group).

Background: You select the data first and then choose a chart type.

• Design: The Design tab appears after a chart is selected, for changing its design.
• Graphics: “Graphics” is not an Excel tab for adding charts.
• Layout: The Layout tab is for page or chart layout adjustments.

Did you know? Common chart types are column, line, and pie.

Memory trick: Insert = add chart.
