Area:
An area chart emphasizes the magnitude of change over time.

X Y Scatter:
An xy (scatter) chart shows the relationships among the numeric 
values in several data series, or plots two groups of numbers as one series of xy 
coordinates.

Stock:
This chart type is most often used for stock price data, but can also be 
used for scientific data (for example, to indicate temperature changes).

Surface: 
A surface chart is useful when you want to find optimum combinations 
between two sets of data. As in a topographic map, colors and patterns indicate 
areas that are in the same range of values.
• 
Doughnut:
Like a pie chart, a doughnut chart shows the relationship of parts to 
a whole; however, it can contain more than one data series.
• 
Bubble:
Data that is arranged in columns on a worksheet so that x values are 
listed in the first column and corresponding y values and bubble size values are 
listed in adjacent columns, can be plotted in a bubble chart.

Radar:
A radar chart compares the aggregate values of a number of data series.
