In Outlook, click Text Box, and then click Draw Text Box. Instead, you can insert text boxes and position them over the overlapping areas. You cannot add text to the overlapping portions of a Venn diagram from the Text pane. Note: If you do not see the Text pane, you can open it by clicking the control on the left side of the SmartArt graphic.Īdd text to the overlapping portions of the circles Similarities between groups are represented in the overlapping portions of the circles, while differences are represented in the non-overlapping portions of the circles.ġ Each large group is represented by one of the circles.Ģ Each overlapping area represents similarities between two large groups or smaller groups that belong to the two larger groups. Venn diagrams are ideal for illustrating the similarities and differences between several different groups or concepts.Ī Venn diagram uses overlapping circles to illustrate the similarities, differences, and relationships between concepts, ideas, categories, or groups. You can create a SmartArt graphic that uses a Venn diagram layout in Excel, Outlook, PowerPoint, and Word. There are 150 pupils in Year 11 sitting some, if not all, of the following examinations: English, Maths and Science.Excel for Microsoft 365 Word for Microsoft 365 Outlook for Microsoft 365 PowerPoint for Microsoft 365 Excel 2021 Word 2021 Outlook 2021 PowerPoint 2021 Excel 2019 Word 2019 Outlook 2019 PowerPoint 2019 Excel 2016 Word 2016 Outlook 2016 PowerPoint 2016 Excel 2013 Word 2013 Outlook 2013 PowerPoint 2013 Excel 2010 Word 2010 Outlook 2010 PowerPoint 2010 Excel 2007 Word 2007 Outlook 2007 PowerPoint 2007 More. This will help you keep an overview of what is going on. Remember to draw the Venn diagram and add information as you go along. Take a look at a different problem solving exercise using Venn diagrams. We can now fill this in on our Venn diagram.ġ6 visitors had seen Band X, but not Band Y or Band Z. So 16 people are left over to go in the section that is blank. You can see we have 20 people so far, but we know 36 people saw Band X: Let’s add up the numbers we have so far in this circle:
6 people have seen Band Z and Band X, we can now fill this in on our Venn diagram.įinally, if we now look at the Band X circle, we have all the sections complete except for one. So 6 people are left over to go in the section that is blank. You can see we have 47 people so far, but we know 53 people saw Band Z: If we now add up the numbers we have so far in Band Z's circle: If we now look at Band Z circle, we have all the sections complete except one. Therefore, 21 people have seen Band Y and Band Z. You can see we have 34 people so far, but we know 55 people saw Band Y:Ģ1 people are remaining and go in the blank section. Now add up the numbers we have so far in Band Y circle: If we now look at the Band Y circle, we have all the sections complete except one. How many visitors had seen Band X but not Band Y or Band Z? Solutionįirst of all, work out how many people have seen Band X and Band Y only:ġ1 visitors have seen Band X and Band Y only.
It is really important you draw the Venn diagram and add information as you go along. You may be asked to solve problems using Venn diagrams in an exam.
