One basic way to set this up:
All you need to do is make a table and then click in it. Then, Run the Chart
Wizard. You can access it from Insert | Chart.
Example, if I want to create a chart based on how much produce my gorcery
store sells in a month, I would put the types of produce down one column,
like this:
Apples
Pears
Cherries
Oranges

Then, I would put the Months of the year across a Row:
Jan Feb Mar Apr ...

This would create a rectangular area for your data.
