Click on the cell with the first date to select it, and then drag the fill handle across or down the cells where you want Excel to add dates.

What is a Data Chart? A chart is a visual presentation of data. A chart can convey what is usually a table with rows of numbers in a picture. This allows the viewer to quickly grasp comparisons and trends more easily than looking at the raw data.

Why? We can use both a line chart and a column chart to illustrate a trend over time. However, a line chart is far more effective when there are many periods of time being measured.

Bar charts are good for comparisons, while line charts work better for trends. Scatter plot charts are good for relationships and distributions, but pie charts should be used only for simple compositions never for comparisons or distributions.

Line charts are the best when you want to map continuous data over a period of time.
