Adding new data to existing graph

Hi,

I a graph with date, loan amount etc. I will need to add new data on a weekly basis and wondered if there is a way for me to link the existing graph so that everytime I add new data it will automatically be updated?

Thanks


RE: Adding new data to existing graph

Hi Amy

Thanks for getting in touch. The best way to do this is convert the source data into a table.

To do this, click inside your data (the dates and amounts etc). On the Home tab, click Format as Table. You then have to choose a style, but you can remove this afterwards if you like. Click OK to confirm that it has captured all the data.

Now go back and highlight the entire table. Create the chart as normal but note that when you add a new row to the table the chart will automatically update.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Repeating headings on spreadsheets that print on more than one page

By default when you print a spreadsheet out and it prints on more than one page, the headings at the top and the side of the spreadsheet don't appear on all the pages following page 1.

To get Excel to repeat headings on all pages when printing, go to File - Page Setup - Sheet, then select the rows to repeat at the top of pages, and the columns to repeat at the side of pages by clicking on the red arrows at the right side of the two boxes under the 'Print titles' area. Then click OK.

If you view your spreadsheet in Print Preview, you should see the headings being repeated on each page.
