Copying excel material to word
For writing a report: You will produce a professional report by copying the graph and pasting it into a Word document to create on Word file with text and figures. To copy the graph to word: Select the graph (Ensure you select the whole graph, i.e., click near the edge of the graph frame and see the outtermost edge of the graph indicated by the selection box. Do not select only the axis portion of the graph by clicking at the center of the graph.) Copy [pic] the graph. Then open your word report document, and place the cursor where you want the graph to go, and paste [pic] the graph in.
For writing a report: Your word report must have page numbers. In the word program use view >> header and footer >> click on left-most page # icon
The page # can be centered, as you center text using the format menu bar center icon

To plot two (or more) sets of data on one pair of axis.
If you have more than one data series to plot on the one graph (e.g., both males & females on one graph) follow the procedures from * to ** above then...
Place in ONE cell adjacent to each of the pairs of data to be plotted a label for each of the data pairs that you would like to appear in your figure legend (e.g, Males, Females). This will usually be much better than using one of the variable names for the figure legend.
click on Add button
click in Name box to place cursor there (this is an additional step from above)
select a cell containing the label of the data first set of data (e.g. "males")
highlight X Values box to make it black

enter appropriate title, and labels for both value (X) axis, & value (Y) axis
click NEXT
place graph as object in: then select the sheet for graph to go in (I suggest a blank sheet)
(optionally: place graph as new sheet (but this appears to plot it full page size, and I have not been able to resize it smaller))
click FINISH (finally)
name the sheet the graph is in (so you can find it)
NOW CHECK THE PLOT AGAINST THE DATA!!
Double click on any item in the graph you wish to modify (experiment!)
Optional - to set a fixed range on an axis:
Click on the axis line or tick label to open operation box
Use options in box to set reasonable (& not conflicting) min, max, step sizes, # decimals displayed etc.
Skills to demonstrate:
1. How to remove fame and shading from a graph.
2. How and why to set the axis range, and have it be the same across two graphs you wish to compare.
3. How to do 2 graphs on one axis pair.
4. How to change a graph once you make it (e.g. axis label, position of legend, source data).
5. How to copy a graph and a range of cells to word.

The following are advanced techniques required of PE 506 students, and potentially useful for PE 306 students when writing lab reports.
Advanced bar graph techniques
To plot mean and standard deviation values for groups to report results.
We will use the following data to produce the following sample graph:
| |Mean Aerobic Capacity (ml/kg/min) |
| |Pre-training |Post-training |
|males |45 |50 |
|females |30 |40 |
| | | |
| |Standard Deviation of Aerobic Capacity (ml/kg/min) |
| |Pre-training |Post-training |
|males |10 |15 |
|females |2.5 |5 |
[pic]
graph the means of variability of groups using the chart wizard [pic]
select CHART TYPE = COLUMN, and select top left sub-type (plain column graph)
click NEXT
select series in columns button (under Data Range tab)
select series tab
if any items are listed in the series box, click Remove until they are all gone
click on Add button
click in Name box to place cursor there
select a cell containing the label of the data first set of data (e.g. "Pre-training"). This is the term that will appear in the figure legend.
highlight the Values box to select it
select (drag over) the column of cells containing the first data (e.g., pre-training data for males & females, do not include column titles)
highlight "category (X) axis label" box to select it
select (drag over) the column of cells containing the bin values (i.e. males & females)
to add the second data series, click on add AGAIN
click in Name box to place cursor there
select a cell containing the label of the data second set of data (e.g. "Post-training"). This is the term that will appear in the figure legend
highlight the Values box to select it
select (drag over) the column of cells containing the second data (e.g., post-training data for males & females, do not include column titles).
click NEXT
select Legend tab
turn on show legend (Keep legend if you have more than one set of data)
select Gridlines tab
turn off Value (Y) axis Major Gridlines (not needed in this simple plot, may be needed in more complex ones you make)
select Titles tab
enter appropriate title, and labels for both category (X) axis, & value (Y) axis
click NEXT
place graph as object in the page you are working on
click FINISH (finally)
NOW CHECK THE PLOT AGAINST THE DATA!!
Now add the error bars to first data set:
Select ONE set of data. This means there will be ONE selection box in the middle of each of the two columns for that data set (i.e., the male and female pre-training data from one column).
Double click to open box
Select "Y Error Bars" tab ( if this tab is not available you did not select BOTH the data columns in the previous step).
Select "Both" & "Custom"
Place cursor in "+" range box
Drag and select the column of male & female pretraining standard deviation values
Place cursor in "-" range box
Drag and select the column of male & female pretraining standard deviation values
Now add the error bars to second data set - by repeating the above procedure for the second data set
Note:
• You can insert text (such as a symbol to mark significance) by using the text box in the DRAWING toolbar.
• You can change the words used in the graph legend by changing the text of the corresponding cell in the excel spreadsheet.
• Changes in the data in the excel spreadsheet will automatically be replotted.
• The same data can be plotted in an alternative organization, as shown below, by starting with the option of "DATA IN ROWS", and changing the dragging directions accordingly.
