Discussion

After creating a chart, you may decide to display the data more effectively with another type of chart. Change the chart type in the Microsoft Graph window. Access includes several chart types from which you can choose.

You can also choose from several available chart sub-types. An example of a chart sub-type is an exploded pie chart, meaning the wedges of the pie are pulled out from the center.
