Efficiency in updating graphs is crucial for productivity, and this guide will outline the necessary steps to add a point on an Excel graph. While Excel requires manual steps and functions, Sourcetable's AI chatbot can instantly generate, modify, and visualize your data through simple natural language commands.
To insert a second data point to an existing Excel graph, start by clicking on the chart. This action will trigger the appearance of the Design tab within the Chart Tools on the ribbon.
