Add Data to the Chart

Data seems to be constantly changing, so sometimes you need to revise a chart you’ve already created. For example, you might need to add data points to a revenue chart to show a year of projected sales.

For a chart placed on a worksheet, just click the chart to display color coded ranges—indicators that outline the data on the worksheet used by the chart. Then drag the drag handles to adjust the range. If you’re working with a chart sheet, use the Copy and Paste commands (Edit menu) to add the data.

Undo button

Make a mistake?   If you add data incorrectly, you can remove it by using the Undo button. You can undo up to 16 previous actions. Need to remove data from the chart?   To delete a data series, you can drag the drag handles, or select the series on the chart and then press DELETE. To delete one data point, just delete the value on the worksheet.
