Is there a list of names for the various charts...
 

....with graphics, as I'm having a problem explaining my query e.g. a column
chart with plus and minus figures in the series; the plus figures should
show above the category axis line and the minus figures below the line.

What would this chart be called?

Hi,

You can do this with a Line chart or XY scatter, even Column charts or an
Area chart. If you are asking is there a special chart name for this type of
chart, you might check Jon Poltier's website. If you are asking does Excel
have a special name for that type of chart, no.

It's called a column chart. Plot the data normally.
