Create or delete a chart in Pages for iCloud

1. Click the Chart button in the toolbar, click 2D or Interactive, then select a type of chart.

   Note: Only column, bar, scatter, and bubble charts can be interactive.

2. Click Edit Chart Data.

   The Chart Data Editor appears with placeholder data. Each row of data represents a data series that’s plotted on the chart.

3. Click each cell to enter your own data in the Chart Data Editor.

   You can add numbers, dates, or durations in the data cells.

4. To change whether the rows or columns are plotted as a data series, click the row or column button in the top-right corner of the Chart Data Editor.

5. When you’re done entering data, click the X in the top-left corner to close the Chart Data Editor.

Scatter charts display data as points, and they require at least two columns or rows of data (x and y values) to plot values for a single data series.

By default, each data series in a scatter chart shares the x-axis value, and therefore, you need to add only one additional row or column of data to show another data series. If you choose to use independent x-axis values, you need to add two additional rows or columns (x and y) to show another data series.

1. Click the Chart button in the toolbar, click 2D or Interactive, then click the scatter chart.

2. Click Edit Chart Data.

   The Chart Data Editor appears with placeholder data (shared x-axis values, and three y-axis values). Each column of a different color represents a data series that’s plotted on the chart.

3. To change whether rows or columns are plotted as a series, click the rows or columns button in the top-right corner of the Chart Data Editor.

4. If you don’t want to use the same x-axis values for each data series, click the Settings button in the Chart Data Editor, then deselect Share X Values.

5. Click each cell to enter your own x and y values for the data series.

   To add another data series, type a new data series name in the next empty column (or row, if plotting by rows), then press Return.

6. When you’re done entering data, click the X in the top-left corner to close the Chart Data Editor.

You can use a bubble chart to plot data with three dimensions. Each data series includes a third dimension that conveys the relationship between the compared values (x and y) and a size value (z). The size value determines the size of the bubble.

By default, each data series in a bubble chart shares the x-axis value, and therefore, you need to add only two additional rows or columns of data to show another data series. If you choose to use independent x-axis values, you need to add three additional rows or columns (x, y, and z) to show another data series.

1. Click the Chart button in the toolbar, click 2D or Interactive, then click the bubble chart.

2. Click Edit Chart Data.

   The Chart Data Editor appears with placeholder data (x-axis, y-axis, and size values). Each column of a different color represents a data series that’s plotted on the chart.

3. To change whether rows or columns are plotted as a series, click the rows or columns button in the top-right corner of the Chart Data Editor.

4. If you don’t want to use the same x-axis values for each data series, click the Settings button in the Chart Data Editor, then deselect Share X Values.

5. Click each cell to enter your own x, y, and size values for the data series.

   To add another data series, type a new data series name in the next empty column (or row, if plotting by rows), then press Return.

6. When you’re done entering data, click the X in the top-left corner to close the Chart Data Editor.

7. Click Series at the top of the Format  sidebar on the right, click the pop-up menu below Bubble Data, then choose Bubble Area or Bubble Diameter.

8. To include bubbles with negative values, select the “Show negative bubbles” checkbox.

• Click the chart to select it, then press Delete.
