Lab 0: Basic Excel Skills
This isn't really a lab and has no associated Excel file. It is a document that explains how to do a few rudimentary things in Excel, including how to enable macros and walks through how to create a chart (i.e., a graph). It also offers advice on good charting practices. This is an excellent resource. Several labs explicitly send students here if they are having trouble creating or modifying a chart. The ExcelBasics.doc file can be used as a general purpose “how to create a chart in Excel” assignment for any class.
