Make Org Charts in Google Sheets
An organizational chart is usually created to show the company’s underlying structure. So before making it let’s create a set of data on which you would like to have an org chart. And make sure you’ve put your information in the sheets correctly.
In my case, I’ve prepared the below sheets as a demo to show you the whole process. In column A, the name of every person whom I want to show in my chart. And in column B, the name of their respective supervisors to whom they report their working progress.
Well, as you have your demo data, then let’s dive into the process of how to make org charts in Google sheets with these data. However, as you have your data, now Google sheets take no time to make an organizational chart out of this. Let’s start with the process.
1. To begin with, select the whole datasheet and click on Insert from the top of the menu bar. Now, select Chart from the resulting page.
2. Well, after tapping on Chart, right you must be on the below-attached page. Remember, after clicking on Chart, a default chart will appear on your sheets. But to make org charts in google sheets, you need to have some more clicks.
However, a Chart editor page will open on which you can see an option called Chart type. Now, hover over your mouse on the chart type drop-down menu, and start scrolling all the options. And you’ll find the chart you’re looking for in the Other section. Just select to have your org chart in your sheets.
3. Well, here your process completes. An org chart will appear on your Google sheets like the below one. Now, check everything is organized or not. If not, then you must put any data wrong. However, you can easily resize and place this chart by dragging it from the corner or edge.
