One
of the popular types of graphs that can be made with Excel are Line Graphs. Line
graphs are usualy used to track changes over a specified period of time. For example,
when tracking changes in weather patterns over a period of 12 months, a line
graph would be ideal.

Personally,
I use line graphs to track enrollment patterns at E-zone School of Computing in
Nabbingo.

However,
of recent, I was asked by one of my students why the line graphs where always straight
from one point to the next. The student asked me how he could add a curve or
bend to a particular line graph. Today’s article explains this and I hope it
could help you too.
Select
the data and create a normal line graph
Right
click on the line graph and choose Format
Data Series
Click
on the bucket
Scroll
to the bottom and click to activate Smoothed
line.
You
now have a smoothed line graph.
