Replacing the graph range

When you create a graph, it is set to the range you first specified. It will reflect changes to the data within that range, but will not reflect other ranges you highlight on the worksheet. To replace the current graph range (or ranges) with a new one:

1.In the Sheet view, highlight the new range you want the graph to use.

2.Switch to the Graph view, then press the Set ranges button. The new range(s) will replace the old one(s) as the subject of the graph.

Adding a range to a graph

You can add further ranges to graphs to display additional information, e.g. to include a previous year’s sales figures as well as the current ones.

To add a range to a graph: select the range you want to add to your graph in the Sheet view, switch to the Graph view and then select the command from the Ranges menu.
