Draw Chart Analyse With Too Large Data
hi
i have data of sales of my restaurant as per the attached excell sheet ,
i divided the year into 12 seasons as per the national events
i have to study the sales like this way
5 profit cenetrs : delivery - drive thru - family - single - take away
4 periods : breaekfast - laucn - early bird - dinner
then i have 3 figures for each of the above :
sales amount - cutsomer count and check average
now i confused on how to draw all of those data in one chart
any one have an idea on how to draw it to fit all those figures in one chart

Sorry I don't have excel 2010 , I have 2007 only , second I want to print the chart not just view it because it required to be hard copy , thanx
Then you have to ask yourself - what do I want to convey to the reader?
1. I have a lot of data, or
2. I have a particular message.
And create your graph(s) accordingy.
Either that, or
3. You need a very large piece of paper.
You cannot fit unlimited data onto one page, and make it readable. Either you need a single (or two) messages, or you need multiple pages.
So, what message do you want to convey? Think whether pie charts, or stacked charts might help bring your message across.

Well, I'm assuming you know how to create a graph - if not, please let us know.
THe question for you remains: what message do you want to convey? What is your graph of?

thanx philip
actually the message is
in each season , unit one has more profitable than unit 2
also , for each unit : Dinner in sector A is more profitable than Launch in Sector B
and so on
i know it is too large , but i really interested in your idea about the message

This question has been classified as abandoned and is closed as part of the Cleanup Program. See the recommendation for more details.
so you could have the 5 profit centers on a slicer, and then the user (or you) can see everything, or focus on one center.
The same for periods, and the same for the figures.
