Go to the Insert Tab, find the Table Button and create your table. For our example, we will have 7 rows and 4 columns.

If you would like to add a design or color to your table, just click on your table. A Table Design Tab will appear above.
Click the Table Design Tab, and go to the Table Styles dropdown menu and choose your style.

Go to the Insert Tab.
In the Illustrated Section, select the Chart Button and choose the chart you want.
A chart will appear along with an Excel spreadsheet. This spreadsheet will allow you to manipulate the data anyway you want. To keep the chart fully accessible, change the font on the table to Times New Roman and at Size 12 for the normal text and size 18 for the title. Now click on the plus symbol for your chart and add data labels for the columns.
Make sure the chart is inline with the text. To do so, click on the chart, then click the Layout Options button. Then select “Inline with Text”.
Now you must add Alt Text to the chart. To do so, right click the chart and select Edit Alt Text. In the Alt Text Side Bar, explain your chart in less than 150 characters.
