[h=4]To Enter Chart Data:
The data that appears in the Excel spreadsheet is
placeholder source data that you will replace with
your own information. The Excel source data is used to create the PowerPoint chart.
Enter your data into the Excel spreadsheet.
If necessary, click and drag the
lower-right corner of the
blue line to increase or decrease the
data range for rows and columns. Only the data enclosed by the blue lines will appear in the chart.
Close Excel. You
do not need to save the spreadsheet. The PowerPoint chart will update to reflect the new source data.
You can edit the chart data at any time by selecting your chart and clicking the
Edit Data command in the
Data group on the
Chart Tools Design tab.
