Changing the Data Plotted in a Chart
When you change the data in a chart’s related table cells, the chart is automatically
updated. But you can also add data to and remove data from a chart without affecting
the related table.
Adding Data to a Chart
You can add data from cells that are adjacent or nonadjacent to cells already plotted,
and you can add data in a new row or column.
Here are ways to add data to a chart:
m
To add data from cells that aren’t adjacent to cells already plotted, select the chart and
then Command-click or Command-drag the cells in the table.
m
To add data from cells that are adjacent to cells already plotted, select the chart and
then Shift-click the cells in the table.
m
To extend the range of adjacent cells whose values are plotted, select the chart. In the
table, drag the circular control in the lower right of the range to the right or down.
If the chart is a scatter chart, dragging lets you add only an even number of rows or
columns.
Click this button to change the chart
orientation. The button looks like this
when columns are data series.
