is there anyone here good at making graphs or charts?

i'm in trouble.. i need to submit it tomorrow.

the table i want to make a chart of is like this:

Table 6 attitude towards towards drug-abuse
--------MeanAge---|sex---#students
--------------Male--|Female
good 16.58yo|50.0%|50.0%|12
Fair 16.30yo|39.2%|60.8%|255
poor 16.33yo|37.7%|62.3%|762

bar or pie graph.... i can't decide. and honestly i don't know which type of chart is more appropriate. i should be reading about it. in a few minutes i will

i should already know how to do this by now. but i don't. our research paper was supposed to be submitted as requirement for internship... for some reason they let our group go into internship and gave us one month more to work on our paper.

anyway, i have to come up with one before the day ends. if you can help me in any way, (urls on how to make graphs etc) that would make me really happy :)

Hey there, bekindtoedward!

Do you have MS Excel? There's a chart/diagram function in that program.... I've not used it, but I know that I have used the "Help" function and it's saved me lots of times...lol!

:D
