After selecting the data range for a chart, what is the next step?

After selecting the data range for a chart, the next logical step is to go to the "Insert" tab. This tab is specifically designed to provide access to various chart types and other insertable elements like shapes, images, and tables. By navigating to the "Insert" tab, users can choose the appropriate chart format that best represents the data they are working with, such as line charts, bar charts, pie charts, and so on.

This step is crucial because without going to the "Insert" tab, you wouldn't be able to initiate the creation of the chart itself, making it the most direct action following the selection of your data range.
