How do I edit my data source for a chart?

Edited on Thu 24 Apr 2008, 09:22

RE: Excel

Hi Sue, Thank you for your post, welcome to the forum, in answer to your question, the data source for your chart is either on the same sheet, or if your chart is on a chart sheet will be in another sheet or even workbook. To edit the data on the chart, you must return to the original data, and make your changes there, the chart will immediatly reflect these changes. To quickly get back to the source data, if you are on a separate sheet, click the Chart to select it, then choose the menu command Chart>Source Data, this will open the data sheet and show the Source data dialog box which allows you to make your required changes.
I hope that has helped, best regards Pete

Excel tip:

Quickly copy a formula across sheets

Suppose you have a formula in cell Sheet1!B2, say =A1*5%, that you wish to copy to cell B2 on Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4. Instead of using copy and paste, try this: (1) Select Sheet1!B2. (2) Group Sheet1 with the worksheets Sheet2, Sheet3 and Sheet4 by holding down Ctrl and clicking on the tabs of the sheets to group them. (3) Press the F2 key, then immediately press Enter to copy the formula in Sheet1!B2 across the grouped sheets.

Remember to ungroup the sheets afterwards! Right-click on any tab and choose Ungroup Sheets to do that.
