#CREATING CHARTS IN EXCEL FOR MAC ANDROID#
If you need some of the map Series options, then you can build your chart in Excel for Windows or Mac and view it on an Android device or Excel Mobile.
There are several map chart specific Series options, however they are not supported in Android devices or Excel Mobile. Depending on your data, Excel will insert either a value or category map. If the preview looks good, then press OK. Now it's time to create a map chart, so select any cell within the data range, then go to the Insert tab > Charts > Maps > Filled Map. In the following example, we've converted a list of countries to geography data types, then selected the Tax revenue (%) field from the Add Column control to use in our map. Excel will automatically convert your data to a geography data type, and will include properties relevant to that data that you can display in a map chart.
Simply input a list of geographic values, such as country, state, county, city, postal code, and so on, then select your list and go to the Data tab > Data Types > Geography. Map charts have gotten even easier with geography data types. Each country is represented by a different color. In the following example, Countries by Category, the categories are displayed using a standard legend to show groups or affiliations. By default, the higher the value is, the darker its corresponding color will be. The color for each region is dictated by where along the spectrum its value falls. The values represent tax revenue in each country with each portrayed using a gradient spectrum of two colors. Categories are represented by different colors.įor example, the Countries by Tax Revenue % chart below uses values.
Values are represented by slight variations of two to three colors. Map charts can display both values and categories, and they each have different ways of displaying color.
