I'm trying to create a chart template in Excel so that I can use it over and over again with different data. Does anyone know how to do this?

Open a new, blank workbook in Excel.
Format the workbook as desired, including column headers, fonts, colors, etc.
Create the chart(s) on the worksheet, using the data in the cells.
Once the chart(s) look the way you want them to, go to the File menu and choose Save As.
In the Save As dialog, choose the location where you want to save the file.
In the Save As Type drop-down, choose Microsoft Excel Template (*.xltx).
Enter a name for the template, and click Save.

You can now use this template to create new workbooks with the same formatting and chart(s).

Creating chart templates in Excel is a great way to save time and make sure that your charts look consistent. Here are a few easy steps that you can take to create a chart template:

Start by preparing the data that you want to use – Decide which data set you want to use for the chart, and how you want to format it. Once that’s done, you can copy and paste it into Excel.
Layout and format your chart – Arrange and format the chart according to your personal preferences. For example, you can adjust the size of the chart, add gridlines, and remove any borders.
Add your custom elements, such as text and graphics – Add any custom elements such as text, logos, or graphics that you want to display in the chart. This is great for giving it a more professional and personalized look.
Save your chart as a template – Once you have everything complete, save your chart as a template. In the Save As dialog box, select the file format you want to save as, give the template a unique name, and then click Save.

That’s it! With your new chart template ready, you can easily make any changes to it whenever you need to.
