Entering graph data
You use the Graph Data window to enter the data for your graph. The Graph Data window appears automatically
when you use a graph tool and stays open until you close it. To display the Graph Data window for an existing graph,
select the entire graph with the Selection tool, and then choose Object > Graph > Data.

Apply
After you enter data, click the Apply button or press the Enter key on the numeric keypad to regenerate the graph.
You can enter data in any of the following ways:
•
Select a cell in the worksheet, and enter the data in the text box at the top of the window. Press Tab to input the
data and select the next cell in the same row; press Enter or Return to input the data and select the next cell in the
same column; use the arrow keys to move from cell to cell; or simply click another cell to select it.
•
Copy data from a spreadsheet application such as Lotus® 1-2-3 or Microsoft Excel. In the Graph Data window,
click the cell that will be the top-left cell of the data you paste, and choose Edit > Paste.
•
Use a word-processing application to create a text file in which the data for each cell is separated by a tab, and the
data for each row is separated by a paragraph return. The data can only contain decimal points or decimal
commas; otherwise, the data is not plotted. (For example, enter
732000 , not 732,000 .) In the Graph Data window,
click the cell that will be the top-left cell of the data you import, click the Import Data button , and select the
text file.
•
If you accidentally enter graph data backward (that is, in rows instead of columns, or vice versa), click the
Transpose button
to switch the columns and rows of data. To switch the x and y axes of scatter graphs, click
the Switch X/Y button .
To adjust the width of columns, click the Cell Style button , and enter a value between 0 and 20 in the Column
Width text box. Alternatively, position the pointer at the edge of the column you want to adjust. The pointer changes
to a double arrow
. Then drag the handle to the desired position. Adjusting the column width has no effect on
the width of columns in the graph; it only lets you view more or fewer digits in a column.
To adjust the decimal precision in cells, click the Cell Style button, and enter a value between 0 and 10 in the Number
of Decimals text box. The default is 2. With the default settings, the number 4 entered in a cell appears in the Graph
Data window box as 4.00; the number 1.55823 entered in a cell displays as 1.56.
