Question

What is the difference between a chart sheet and an embedded chart?

Answer 1

Chart sheet and embedded chart are found in Microsoft Excel and other spreadsheet.

Chart sheet - is a chart on its own. It is can not be a part of the worksheet as a whole.

Embedded chart - is a chart that can be inserted in a worksheet. Once it is embedded, it can be seen together with other facts in a worksheet.

Answer 2

When you insert an chart in an Excel spreadsheet, Excel creates as a default an embedded chart. This embedded chart will show on your sheet. You will still be able to see other cells and figures in the sheet. An Excel Chart Sheet on the other hand is a worksheet tab that only contains the Excel chart. The difference between them is that a chart sheet is a separate tab in the sheets tabs and only has the chart on .
