What are the parts of a chart?

The image above shows the data used to create the chart to the left. As you can see from the image, the most common parts of a chart are:

  • Title
  • X-Axis and title
  • Y-Axis and title
  • Legend
  • Series Data (Note: North Store is one series, South Store is another series, etc.)

The chart to the left has three categories: January, February, and March.
