Hi. In Excel 2007, I am unable to insert a chart. I select a range of cells,
go to the insert tab, select Column in the charts group and "clustered
column" (or any different type of graph such as a line graph), hit click and
nothing happens. To test this issue, I tried to download a chart template
from Microsoft, but I received an error message instead "Microsoft Office
Excel has encountered a problem and needs to close". The error report
contents stated the following:
AppName: Excel.exe
AppVer: 12.0.6524.5003
AppStamp: 464fba46
ModName: oart.dll
ModVer: 12.0.6425.1000
ModStamp: 49d64f6c
fDbug: 0
offset: 00308e2b

I'd appreciate any suggestions advice.

You seem to be doing everything OK.

See if this works for you (simple worked example).

In cell A1 put nothing.

A2 put 2005

A3 put 2006

A4 put 2007

B1 put QTR 1

B2 put 1000

B3 put 2000

B4 put 3000

Highlight A1 to B4 inclusive.

Insert / Charts group / Column / Clustered Column

You should now get chart on screen with numbers up left hand side and 2005
2006 and 2007 along the horizontal axis.

Hope it works out.

Thank you for the reply. I'm afraid nothing happened when I tried it. I don't
even get any kind of error message; I have the range of cells highlighted but
after clicking for any type of chart option, I don't get anything. From the
insert tab, I can insert other things such as a picture or clip art, but I
can't insert a chart. I'll keep trying.
