Make a Chart! • Open the Excel spreadsheet and place the months and average monthly wind speed in the boxes. • Highlight the boxes with the months and numbers, and click “Insert/Chart.” • Choose the type of chart you want, and click “Next” two times. • Label your “x axis” “Months” and your “value z” axis “MPH.” • Click “As Object In,” and click “Finish.” • Congratulations!! Move your chart down to where you see the word “Chart,” then answer the questions on the next page!
