First, copy the needed tracker data into a scratch workbook


Copy This Tracker Data

This is from the “FINAL” tab. Copy the two columns and

Next, organize the data so that Excel will make

the figure you want


Organize The Data So It Looks Like This

Count these numbers

You can use line breaks to write “No Proficient

Now, highlight the organized data and tell

Excel what kind of graphical display you

want


Highlight The Data

Don’t highlight

these column

Lastly, make the figure accessible by adding title, axis labels, etc.


Delete The “Series” Label.

To Add Titles, Go To The “Layout” Menu

Select “Chart Title” and pick “Above Chart”


Type In The Title


To Add Axes Labels, Go To The “Layout” Menu

Select “Axes Titles” and

select “Primary Vertical Axis

Title” (Rotated)

Data Labels are not necessary, but they add a

nice touch
