In this first example, we will create a Radar Chart that shows the assessment of all three trainers. We’ve assessed them in five different categories (Knowledge, Delivery, and so on) and our Excel table contains those ratings. We have three trainers: Graham, Barbara, and Keith.

Let’s first take a look at the sample data we’ll be using for our examples. In this article, we’ll show you how to create two types of Radar Chart: a regular chart (like the one above) and a filled chart (like the one below, which fills in the areas instead of just showing the outlines). It’s likely you’ve run across them before, even if you didn’t know that’s what they were.Ĭreating Radar Charts in Excel is straightforward. Click the Chart Elements button again, hover over the Axes option, click the arrow that appears next to it, and then select More Options.

Here’s a sample radar chart, so you can see what we’re talking about. To give our Radar chart a greater impact, and more data clarity, we will modify the axis to begin at three instead of zero. It’s useful when you cannot directly compare the variables and is especially great for visualizing performance analysis or survey data. A radar chart compares the values of three or more variables relative to a central point.
