Plotting Likert (agree/disagree) data in Excel

If you're processing survey data that includes scales from strongly agree to strongly disagree, or similar, you probably want to plot it rather than try to compress it to a single number -- I know people who would get very, very angry if you did that. This gives a nice visualisation of your results, which doesn't hide any distributions or make assumptions about what "neither" might mean. This tutorial covers how to build such a plot in Excel. Alternatives are available, obviously. It's probably in R, too, but you can build a spreadsheet template and drop your data into it again and again and have it update instantly.
