2. First, you need to select the dataset with which you would like to work. Use your cursor to select cells C4:C14 and E4:E14. Remember to hold the Ctrl key down when selecting non-adjacent cell ranges:

Excel workbook open, Cells C4 until C14  and E4 until E14 was selected

3. Next, click Insert → Insert Column or Bar Chart → Clustered Column:

Excel workbook open, Insert tab selected, Insert column or Bar Chart selected, a small pane open, clustered Column chosen

4. The new chart now appears on the current worksheet, overlapping some of the data:

5. Click and drag this chart to a location on the worksheet where it is not overlapping anything:

6. Examine the new chart. You will quickly see that Thompson made the most sales in week 1, with Harrison as the next runner up. McCain clearly has some work to do:
