Go to the Insert Tab.
Click the Chart Button.
The Insert Chart box will appear. There, you can choose a chart or graph style. You can create pie charts, bar graphs, and more. When a chart or graph is made, you will see a small Excel sheet pop up. This can be used to edit your chart. When editing your chart, try to use different colors for each category to make each category stand out from one another.
Data labels are very important for accessibility purposes. You should always include a title, axis labels, data labels, and any other relevant labels that make the graph easy to understand. If data labels are not present, then readers will have fewer queues to help them read the information. Charts, tables, and graphs cannot be read by screen readers without their labels, so always add them. To add data labels, click on your chart, and click the Chart Elements Plus sign in the top right corner. Choose which data labels you want to use. Next, customize them so they are visible but does not distract from the chart itself.

In the alt text panel, explain your chart or graph in less than 150 characters. You can also include a link to a long description in addition to the alt text if 150 characters is not enough. When you are finished, check your chart to be sure that your font is accessible with a good size and contrast ratio to its background.
