How To Enlarge Chart In Excel

How to Enlarge a Chart in Excel

Manual Resizing with Sizing Handles

To manually increase the size of a chart in Excel, click on the chart to reveal sizing handles and drag them to the desired dimensions. This method offers a quick visual resize.

Resizing with Specific Measurements

For precision, enlarge a chart by entering specific height and width dimensions. Access the 'Size' group on the Excel 'Format' tab to input these values, allowing for consistent sizing across multiple charts.

Adjusting Chart's Default Behavior

A chart's default behavior is to move and size along with cell adjustments. To prevent this and maintain a stable chart size, utilize the 'Format Chart Area' pane to modify how the chart interacts with cell movements and resizings.

Moving Chart to a New Sheet

If additional space is required, move the chart to a new or existing separate sheet within the workbook. This option gives the chart a dedicated space, free from cell constraints on a regular sheet.

Excel vs Sourcetable: Streamlined Data Management and Analysis

Excel, a robust Microsoft spreadsheet tool, excels in complex calculations and data manipulation tasks. In contrast, Sourcetable operates as both a specialized data management tool and spreadsheet, syncing data seamlessly from over 100 third-party applications into one interface. This connectivity allows Sourcetable to serve growth and business operations teams looking for efficient, code-free data centralization.

Sourcetable distinguishes itself with a spreadsheet-like interface combined with an AI copilot, offering real-time assistance in generating formulas and templates through an intuitive chat interface. Excel, while versatile and extendable via macros, does not inherently offer AI-assisted features. Sourcetable aims for a more user-friendly experience without the need for advanced technical skills.

When it comes to collaboration and sharing capabilities, Sourcetable enables easy, seamless sharing and real-time collaboration, making it superior to Excel's more traditional file-based sharing system. Sourcetable's live models update automatically, providing up-to-date insights, whereas Excel requires manual refreshing and lacks real-time updates without OneDrive.

Price-wise, Sourcetable's plans start at $50 per month, offering a 14-day free trial for users to experience its full capabilities. Excel's costs vary depending on licensing models but often involves an initial purchase or an Office 365 subscription. This makes Sourcetable an attractive choice for streamlined business intelligence at a predictable cost.
