Click Insert > Chart.

Click the chart type and then double-click the chart you want.

Tip: When you insert a chart, small buttons appear next to its upper-right corner. Use the Chart Elements button to show, hide, or format things like axis titles or data labels. Or use the Chart Styles  button to quickly change the color or style of the chart. The Chart Filters  button is a more advanced option that shows or hides data in your chart.

When you’ve finished, close the spreadsheet.

If you want, use the Layout Options button to arrange the chart and text in your document.
