Editing How to Acquire a Ring of Sinewave Spheres in Excel



A ring of sinewave spheres can be created in Excel using the following steps:

1. Open a new Excel spreadsheet and create a new worksheet.
2. In the first row of the worksheet, create a series of numbers that represent the angle of the sinewave. For example, if you want to create a sinewave with 360 degrees, you can create a series of numbers from 0 to 360.
3. In the second row of the worksheet, use the SIN function to create a series of numbers that represent the sinewave. For example, if the first cell in the second row is "=SIN(A1)", then the second cell should be "=SIN(A2)", and so on.
4. Copy the second row of numbers and paste them into a new column. This will create a duplicate column of sinewave values.
5. Highlight the second column of sinewave values and use the "Format Cells" option to change the number format to "Fraction" with a denominator of 100. This will create a smoother sinewave.
6. Select the first and second columns of sinewave values and use the "Insert" option to insert a 2D scatter chart.
7. Right-click on the chart and select "Format Chart Area". Set the "Chart Area Fill" to "No Fill" and the "Chart Area Border" to "No Line". This will create a blank chart with just the sinewave lines.
8. Right-click on the sinewave lines and select "Format Data Series". Set the "Line Color" to a dark shade and the "Line Style" to a thick line. This will create a clear sinewave line.
9. Select the sinewave line and use the "Copy" and "Paste" options to create a duplicate line.
10. Right-click on the duplicate sinewave line and select "Format Data Series". Set the "Line Color" to a light shade and the "Line Style" to a thin line. This will create a secondary sinewave line that will be used to create the spheres.
11. Copy the second row of sinewave values and paste them into a new column. This will create a duplicate column of sinewave values.
12. Highlight the second column of sinewave values and use the "Format Cells" option to change the number format to "Fraction" with a denominator of 100. This will create a smoother sinewave.
13. Highlight the duplicate column of sinewave values and use the "Insert" option to insert a 2D scatter chart.
14. Right-click on the chart and select "Format Chart Area". Set the "Chart Area Fill" to "No Fill" and the "Chart Area Border" to "No Line". This will create a blank chart with just the sinewave lines.
15. Right-click on the sinewave lines and select "Format Data Series". Set the "Line Color" to a light shade and the "Line Style" to a thin line. This will create a clear sinewave line.
16. Right-click on the chart and select "Select Data". Click on "Add" to add a new series.
17. In the "Edit Series" window, set the "Series Name" to "Spheres", set the "Series X Values" to the duplicate sinewave values in the first column, and set the "Series Y Values" to the sinewave values in the second column.
18. Click "OK" to close the "Edit Series" window and then click "OK" to close the "Select Data" window.
19. Select the "Spheres" data series and use the "Format Data Series" option to set the "
