The A-Team is pleased to announce that the long-awaited release of Access modern charts is now available to all users in the 365 Current Channel.

There are 10 new chart types: area, radar, arc, box and whisker, bubble, doughnut, funnel, scatter, waterfall, word cloud.
In addition, we’ve added additional features in both new and existing charts including gridlines, data labels in pie, arc, doughnut charts, and a new settings task pane for each chart type.

NOTE: The changes are only being implemented in Access 365.

a) For users running Access 2016/2019/2021 and upcoming 2024 perpetual, any new chart types used will revert to the default Combo chart type.
b)  Users running Access 2013 or earlier cannot see any modern charts. The application will still run, but there will be an empty space where the modern chart is located.

Congrats to the Access Team, particularly the lead engineer on this project @Courtney Owen.
