Are you tired of the same old boring charts in your Google Sheets? Well, look no further because the Google Sheets Chart Editor Sidebar is here to save the day! With its sleek design and user-friendly interface, the Chart Editor Sidebar is the perfect tool to make your charts stand out from the crowd.
Customize Your Column Chart
When it comes to customizing a column chart, the Chart Editor Sidebar offers you a plethora of options. With 7 different sections to explore, you can truly unleash your creativity and make your charts shine.
Chart Style
The first section you’ll come across is the Chart Style. Here, you can customize the appearance of your chart area, including the font used for text, the background color, the size of the chart, and even the style of the columns. Make sure to choose an easy-to-read font and a background color that makes your columns pop.
Chart & Axis Titles
Next up, we have the Chart & Axis Titles section. This is where you can provide essential information about your data by customizing the chart and axis titles. Edit the text to improve clarity and choose the font, size, style, and color that make your titles easy to read.
Series
The Series section allows you to manipulate your data series to create a truly unique chart. You can change the color of the data series, apply error bars if your chart displays statistical information, add data labels to each bar to identify values or percentages, and even overlay a trendline to study trends or forecast future values. The options are endless!
Legend
A legend is a key that helps identify the information in your graph. In this section, you can position the legend and customize the font, size, format, and text color. Including a legend is especially important if you have multiple data series in your chart.
Horizontal Axis
The horizontal axis labels are used to identify the data shown in each vertical bar. In this section, you can format the font, size, format, and color of these labels. You can also choose to reverse the sequence of the vertical bars and even slant the labels for added visual appeal.
Vertical Axis
The vertical axis labels represent the value each bar represents. Here, you can format the font, size, format, and color of these labels. You also have the option to adjust the scale used to display the data, giving you full control over your chart’s appearance.
Gridlines
Last but not least, we have the Gridlines section. Gridlines act as a guide for identifying the value of each vertical bar. You can set the amount, position, color, and type of gridlines to suit your preferences and make your chart even more informative.
