Switch rows and columns as data series
When you add a chart, Keynote defines the default data series for it. In most cases, if a table is square or if it’s wider than it is tall, the table rows are the default series. Otherwise, the columns are the default series. You can change whether rows or columns are the data series.
Tap the chart, tap
in the format bar that appears, then tap Edit Data.
Tap
, then tap Plot Rows as Series or Plot Columns as Series.
Tap Done to return to the chart.
Share the x-axis for multiple values along the y-axis for scatter and bubble charts
Sharing the x-axis means plotting a single kind of value along the x-axis, while allowing for multiple kinds of values plotted along the y-axis. By default, the x-axis values are shared among multiple sets of y-axis values in some types of charts.
Tap the chart to select it, tap
in the format bar that appears, then tap Edit Data.
Tap
, then tap Share X Values.
Tap Done to return to the chart.
About chart downsampling
If a column, bar, line, or area chart references a table with a large number of data points, the chart automatically shows a representative sample of each series to improve the performance of Keynote. Downsampling doesn’t change or remove the data in your table, and only changes the visible data points in the chart.
If your chart data is being downsampled, a message appears when you tap 
If you want to see certain data points in your chart, you need to create the chart from a smaller table or a smaller selection of data from a large table.
Apply a different style to a chart
Tap the chart, then tap
in the navigation bar at the top of the window.
Tap Chart, then tap one of the chart styles.
Change colors, shadows, spacing, and other options
You can change the look of a chart by adding colors, textures, shadows, and more. You can change the look of the entire chart, or change individual data series in a chart to differentiate them from other series. For bar charts, for example, you can fill the bars in each series with a different color or a color gradient, apply a different outline (stroke) style, and more. For scatter charts, you can change the symbol that represents each point and add connection lines between the points.
Note: You can’t change the look of a single data point in a series (a single bar in a bar chart, for example). All changes you make apply to every data point in the series.
Tap the chart, then tap
in the navigation bar at the top of the window.
Do one of the following:
Apply a coordinated color palette to all the data series: Tap Chart, then tap a thumbnail at the top of the Chart tab. All the colors in the chart change at once.
Apply colors, images, or textures to all the data series: Tap Style, tap General, then tap Chart Colors. Tap Colors, Images, or Textures, then tap a collection to apply it.
Change the color, gradient, or image for individual pieces of the chart: Tap Chart, tap Edit Series, then tap the name of the datum whose appearance you want to change. Tap Fill, then tap Preset, Color, Gradient, or Image.
The changes affect only the selected data series. To change another series, tap one of its elements, then make changes.
Change the spacing in bar or column charts: Tap Style, tap General, then pinch and drag the slider for Gaps Between Columns, Gaps Between Bars, or Gaps Between Sets.
Add rounded corners to bar, column, mixed, and two-axis charts: Tap Style, then pinch and drag the Rounded Corners slider, or tap the percentage under Rounded Corners and enter a new value.
Change the depth of a 3D chart and the shape of series elements: Tap Chart, then adjust the Depth slider.
Resize the center hole of a donut chart: Pinch and drag the Inner Radius slider, or tap the percentage below Inner Radius and enter a new value.
Bevel the edges between series or wedges in 3D stacked and pie charts: Tap Chart, then turn on Bevels.
Change the grid style of radar charts: Tap Chart, then adjust the options below Grid Style.
Add or change data symbols in line, scatter, and radar charts
You can change the symbols used to represent data in line, scatter, and radar charts.
Tap the chart to select it, then tap
in the navigation bar at the top of the window.
Tap Style, tap General, tap Data Symbol, tap Data Symbol again, then choose a symbol, or choose None to remove symbols from the chart.
To change the look of data symbols for only one data series, tap the chart to select it, tap
, tap Chart, then tap Edit Series.
