MORE INFORMATION

The following example describes how to create and attach a graph using the Lotus 1-2-3 Help menu.

Choose Lotus 1-2-3 from the Help menu or press the "/" key if you have set Lotus help as such under the Options Workspace command.

Choose Graph from the Lotus Help dialog box.

Set your A, B, C etc. columns accordingly by choosing A-F or X and then selecting the appropriate cells for each column.

Choose the type of graph you want from the Type command.

Now you can attach it to the worksheet by choosing the Save command and then Attach. At this point you will be prompted to enter a range of cells to which the graph will be attached.
