Hi Michael,
Thank you for your question.
If you want to select data for charts, you can use the mouse to select the range of cells you want to create the chart from and press F11.
Alternatively, you can select random columns of data by using the control and click technique.
I hope this answers your question.
Regards
Simon

Any suggestions, questions or comments? Please post in the Improve the forum thread.
If you have a cell in your Excel spreadsheet that contains a lot of text and you want to divide it into separate columns, this can only be done if there is a logical character which separates the text, for example, a comma.
Select the cells you would like to convert. On the Data tab, click Text to Columns. Choose the format of your current data.
Select Delimited if the text contains a logical character otherwise select Fixed Width if there are a certain number of spaces between each field.
Click Next when a preview of the data appears. Then select the type of character that separates the various fields. If the character is not listed, select Other and enter the character.
Click Next again and then choose the format for each of the columns. Select the column heading in the Data preview and then select a data type from the Column data format options.
Click Finish and the text will appear in several columns.
