Charts that update automatically
Set up a chart so a new row of data shows up in it without rebuilding the chart.
In this lesson
- A chart draws one block of cells, its data range. A row outside that block is left out.
- A chart made from a plain list keeps its cells, so a row typed under the list is missed.
- A chart made from a table grows when the table grows. Type the new row right under the table.
