Now select the Chart command from the Insert menu. Choose "As a New Sheet". The Chart Wizard will now lead you through making a new chart. The first step should look like this:

Choose Next and you will be given a choice of chart types. Choose Column and Next. Then you will be given a choice of subtypes. Choose #1 (the upper left hand box). Choose Next. You should see something like this:

If it doesn't look like that, you may need to choose the "columns" button instead of "rows". Also, make sure that both columns and rows are set to 1.

Choose Next again! You will be asked if you want a legend and title. Choose No legend and don't put anything in the title options, we will add those later.

Now choose Finish.
