If you have two chart series that you want to overlap and if the smaller series ends up behind the larger one you will need to change the chart plot order. You can adjust the Gap Width to move the series closer together or further apart. Use the Series Overlap option to spread the series apart by dragging towards Separated or Overlap the series by dragging towards Overlapped. To adjust the overlap between two chart series or to change the spacing between columns, right click any series on the chart and choose Format Data Series. If you think your chart would look better if the columns were wider or if they overlapped you can do this. You can save a chart as an image file if you need to use it in another project later on. Of course, you'll also need to save your Excel worksheet if you want to save the data and chart to work on in Excel in future. The image is saved as a standalone PNG file. So, if your file was called sales.htm then the images will be in a folder called sales_files. You can find your chart in the folder that you saved the html file into. This converts the worksheet to an html file and because html files cannot contain images the chart is saved separately and linked to the html file.
Choose File > Save As, select the location to save the file in and from the Save As Type dropdown list choose Web Page (*.htm *.html), type a name and click Save. To do this you will use a workaround and the simplest way to do it is to size the chart on the worksheet so it is a good size. You can save a chart as a picture from inside Excel so you can use it elsewhere such as in a report or on the web. You can fill a chart with a pattern in Excel 2010 so it can be printed on a monochrome printer or photocopied in black and white. You don't have to use black and white as your colors just choose different patterns to ensure the charts can be understood when printed on a monochromatic printer or photocopied in black and white. Repeat this this for the second series choosing a different pattern. For a monochrome chart set the foreground color to black and the background color to white and select a fill pattern for the series. Choose Format Selection (just below this on the ribbon) and choose Fill > Pattern Fill. To see this at work select a chart and choose Chart Tools > Layout Tab and select the series to edit from the dropdown box at the top left of the ribbon. New to Microsoft Office 2010 is the ability to use grayscale pattern fills for your chart. In this post I'll show you some handy tips, tricks and techniques for creating charts in Excel that will help you get your work done more effectively. While the charts look better, not all the options you can use to make them more functional are immediately apparent.
