Combining data from two different tables

Hi Jens
Today I have tried to combine data from two different Excel tables into a chart but I can't figure out how we did it during the course. Are you able to help?

RE: Combining data from two different tables

Hi Katie,

Thankyou for your question to the forum.

To combine data from 2 tables to a chart you will need to first create the chart type you want from a blank cell and then click SELECT DATA from the Chart Design tab in the ribbon. The next bit is a bit trickier to explain without some visuals to guide you so I suggest you follow along with this helpful Youtube video:

I hope this works. Please let me know if it has helped or if you need more help.

Kind regards

Excel tip:

Ctrl+d's double life

Suppose I have a formula in B1 that I wish to copy into B2:B10. I can select B1:B10 then press Ctrl+d to copy the formula down the selected range. Users generally ignore this shortcut in favour of double-clicking on the fill handle to copy down, but Ctrl+d is useful sometimes particularly when there is no data in surrounding columns to guide to how far the double-click method should copy formulae.

Ctrl+d has another use though. When I use the drawing toolbar to draw objects such as Text Boxes, Rectangles and Ovals onto a worksheet, Ctrl+d makes an instant duplicate of selected shapes. For example, I need five Text Boxes the same size. I draw one Text box and adjust it to the size I want, select it, then press Ctrl+d four times to get four identical copies.
