Select data to make a graph in Numbers on iPad
In Numbers, graphs are created using data from a table. To create any type of graph, you can select the data first, then create a graph that displays the data. When you change the data in the table, the graph updates automatically.
Select the data before creating your graph
Select the table cells with the data you want to use or to add data from an entire row or column, tap the table, then tap the number or letter for that row or column.
If the data in your table is categorised, you can also select a column to plot the results of summary row calculations.
Note: To chart individual data points in a categorised table, make sure the first cell you select is not in a summary row. If the selection includes a group that’s collapsed, only data from the visible groups is plotted.
