A best practice is to include Alt Text for   accessibility compliance.

Next   you want to create a combo chart to depict the monthly totals and percentages   by category.
 

  Display the Data sheet, select the ranges A4:A10 and F4:G10, and then create   a Clustered Column – Line on Secondary Axis combo chart.

You want to position the chart below the data   source.
 

  Cut the chart and paste it in cell A13. Change the height to 3.5″ and the width to 6″.

Change   the combo chart title to April 2021 Downloads. Apply Black, Text 1 font color to the chart   title.

Axis titles will help distinguish the number and   percentage of downloads.
 

  Add a primary value axis title and type Number of Downloads. Add a secondary value axis   title and type Percentage of Monthly Downloads. Apply Black, Text 1 font color   to both value axis titles.

Now   that you added an axis title for each vertical axis, you can remove the   legend and format the secondary value axis to display whole percentages.
 

  Remove the legend for the combo chart. Display 0 decimal places for the   secondary value axis.

You want to add some color to the plot area for the   combo chart.

A best   practice is to include Alt Text for accessibility compliance.
 

  Add Alt Text: The combo chart shows the number and percentage of   downloads by genre for April 2021. (including the period).

To provide a visual summary of the weekly totals   for each genre, you will insert sparklines.
 

  Select the range B5:E11. Insert Line Sparklines in the range H5:H11. Apply   Black, Sparkline Style Dark #4

Displaying   the markers helps identify the specific points on the sparklines. You will   also change the high point to a different color to stand out.
 

  Show the high point and markers for the sparklines. Change the high point   marker color to Red.

16

Your last major task is to create a bar chart for   weekly downloads.
 

  Select the range A4:E10. Create a stacked bar chart. Move the chart to new   chart sheet. Type Weekly Downloads for the sheet name. Apply Style 8 chart style.

17

Add a   chart title above the bar chart and type April 2021 Weekly Downloads by Genre.

Increasing the font size will make the chart   elements easier to read.
 

  Apply 11 pt font size to the category axis, value axis, and the legend for   the bar chart.

6

19

Because   the largest value is less than 9,000, you can reduce the maximum bound in the   chart. In addition, you want to display the category labels in the same order   that they are in the worksheet.
 

  Change the maximum bounds for the value axis to 9000 and set the Major Units to 500 for the bar chart. Use the Axis   Options to format the category axis so that the category labels are in   reverse order in the bar chart.

20

Although the bar chart displays major gridlines,   minor gridlines could improve the appearance.
 

  Add primary minor vertical gridlines to the bar chart.

A best   practice is to include Alt Text for accessibility compliance for the bar   chart.
 

  Add Alt Text: The stacked bar chart shows downloads by each week for   each genre.   (including the period).
