Column, bar, line, area, pie and doughnut charts in Numbers on iPad
To create any type of graph, you can add a graph to a sheet first, then select the table cells with the data you want to use. Or, you can select the data first, then create a graph that displays the data. Either way, when you change the data in the table, the graph updates automatically.
You can import a spreadsheet with graphs from Microsoft Excel or Numbers for Mac. The imported spreadsheet might be somewhat different from the original. For example, if an imported spreadsheet has a graph with trendlines or error bars, you won’t be able to edit them or add new ones.
Tip: You can learn about different graph types in the Graph Basics template. With the spreadsheet manager in browse view, tap 
, then tap Charting Basics in the Basic template category. Tap the tabs near the top of the template (Column and Bar Graphs, Interactive Graph and so on) to view the different sheets — each sheet explains a different type of graph.
