Here's how to Create a mirror chart in Microsoft Excel.

i. Here are some useful tips for working with charts in Excel:

- Clearly label your data - Label column and row headings so you and others can understand the data being charted.

- Choose the right chart type - Consider the type of data and relationship you want to show, and pick the best chart type to visualize it (e.g. line, bar, pie, scatter, etc.)

- Keep it simple - Avoid overcomplicating the chart. Remove unnecessary legend entries, data labels, borders, etc. that don't add value.

- Format and style charts - Use colors, fonts, and styles consistently to improve readability and aesthetics. Avoid garish colors.

- Size charts appropriately - Make sure the charts and text are large enough to read, but not so large as to look disproportionate.

- Place charts close to data - Put charts on the same page or section as the related data set for better context.

- Include descriptive titles - Give each chart a clear, concise title that summarizes the main takeaway or trend.

- Provide data table for details - Use data tables below the chart to show precise numbers, if needed for context.

- Check for distortion - Double check that chart scaling or axis limits are not distorting data representation.

- Maintain integrity if editing - Be careful when modifying chart elements that you don't misrepresent the actual data.

Following these tips will help you create clear, easy-to-comprehend charts from your Excel data.
