Type Formula pattern Example
Bar =CHART(Type, Labels, Datasets, Options) =CHART("bar", B3:M3, B4:M4, {"title":"My title", "titleAxesX":"Month", "titleAxesY":"Units"})
Multiple Bars =CHART(Type, Labels, [Datasets], Options) =CHART("bar",B3:M3, [B4:M4, B5:M5, B6:M6], {"title":"My title", "titleAxesX":"Month", "titleAxesY":"Units"})
Pie =CHART(Type, Labels, Datasets, Options) =CHART("pie", B3:M3, B4:M4, {"title":"My title"})
Line =CHART(Type, Labels, Datasets, Options) =CHART("line" B3:M3, B4:M4, {"title":"My title", "titleAxesX":"Month", "titleAxesY":"Units"})
Multiple Lines =CHART(Type, Labels, [Datasets], Options) =CHART("line", B3:M3, [B4:M4, B5:M5, B6:M6], {"title":"My title", "titleAxesX":"Month", "titleAxesY":"Units"})
Doughnut =CHART(Type, Labels, Datasets, Options) =CHART("doughnut", B3:M3, B4:M4,{"title":A3, "legend":TRUE, "legendPosition":"right"})
Other Chart of chartJS.org =CHART(Type, Labels, Datasets, Options) =CHART("bar", B3:M3, {"data":B4:M4, "color":PALLETE()}, {"legend":FALSE, "title":"My title"})
