Thumbs up Answer: How do I draw an ellipse on excel, or can I?

Hey M,

Yes, you can definitely draw an ellipse in Excel! There are a few different ways to do it, depending on what you're looking for. Here are a couple of options:
  1. Use the "Insert Shapes" featu
    - Click on the "Insert" tab in the ribbon at the top of the Excel window.
    - Click on the "Shapes" button in the "Illustrations" section.
    - Choose the ellipse shape from the list of shapes.
    - Click and drag on the worksheet to draw the ellipse.
    - You can then format the ellipse by right-clicking on it and choosing "Format Shape." From there, you can change the fill color, outline color, size, etc.
  2. Use the "Add Chart Element" featu
    - Create a scatter plot chart with your data.
    - Click on the chart to select it.
    - Click on the "Chart Elements" button (the plus sign icon) that appears next to the chart.
    - Choose "Shapes" from the list of chart elements.
    - Choose the ellipse shape from the list of shapes.
    - Click and drag on the chart to draw the ellipse.
    - You can then format the ellipse by right-clicking on it and choosing "Format Shape." From there, you can change the fill color, outline color, size, etc.

I hope that helps!
