Key Insights

• You can insert various types of charts from Google Sheets into Google Docs, including bar, column, line charts, and pie charts.

• It is advisable to prepare a Google Sheets document before inserting it to optimize the process.

Create and Insert Charts

Prepare Chart in Google Sheets

First, you need to create a Google Sheets document with the relevant data. Here you can manually enter the values and categories you want to represent in your chart. For example, if you want to create a line chart, you should arrange your data as follows: The categories are in the first column (e.g., Team 1 to Team 4), while the values are in the second column (e.g., from 0 to 100).

You can customize the data as needed. Change the names on the X-axis from Team 1 to Number 1, or adjust the values. This can be done easily and quickly. Changes to your chart can be made by simply editing the values in Google Sheets.

Insert Chart from Google Sheets

Once you have created your chart, it is time to insert it into your Google Docs document. Switch to Google Docs and click on "Insert." Then select the "Chart" option and then "From Google Sheets."

Make sure to select the correct Google Sheets document that contains your chart. If you use multiple Google accounts, make sure that the document was created from the account you are using or that you have set the appropriate permissions.

Linking the Charts

After inserting the chart in Google Docs, you have the option to link it to the original Google Sheets document. This option allows you to edit the data in Google Sheets and automatically update the changes in your Google Docs document.

By enabling the "Link" option, you will be able to update your chart. For example, if you change a value in Google Sheets, you will have the option to update your chart in Google Docs.

Decide whether you want to link the chart or insert it independently. If you unlink the chart, it will remain in the state it was inserted, regardless of changes in Google Sheets.

Update Chart

If you have linked the chart with Google Sheets, you can easily reflect the current data in Google Docs. To update the chart, simply go to the chart and click on the "Update" button. This will incorporate changes in Google Sheets and update the chart in Google Docs accordingly.

If you later want to unlink the chart, you can do so through the options for linked charts. This allows you to maintain flexibility in how you represent your data.

Conclusion

By using Google Sheets and Google Docs, you can not only organize your data more efficiently but also present it in an appealing way. By inserting and managing charts, you have the opportunity to present your information clearly and visually appealingly. Use these features to enhance your projects and give more weight to your data.
