With the continuous development of Microsoft Office and Excel as its program, the options in Excel are constantly evolving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Charts are no exception from this as well. In the example below, we will show how to add data points to Excel Charts<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Add Data Points to Excel Charts<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

For our example, we will use the list of NBA players<\/strong> and their statistics from several categories: points, rebounds, assists, and turnovers:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We will make the chart out of the player’s names and points, by going to Insert >> Charts and choosing the Line Chart With Markers<\/strong>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

We will click OK<\/strong> and have our chart created.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To add the data points to this existing chart, we will make these steps:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

    \n
  1. We choose the chart that we want to edit by clicking it. When we do this, we will have the Chart Tools tab shown in our Excel ribbon<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
    \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
      \n
    1. The second step is to click on the Select Data button<\/strong> that is located under the Data group<\/strong> in the Chart Tools tab<\/strong>. When we do this, the dialog box<\/strong> Select Data Source<\/strong> will be opened:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
      \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n
        \n
      1. As seen, we have Legend Entries<\/strong> and Horizontal Axis Labels<\/strong>. If we want to add a data point to our original series, we need to select the series from the section where Legend Entries<\/strong> is located.<\/li>\n\n\n\n
      2. We need to add the new series to our chart, and we will do that by clicking the Add button<\/strong> in the Legend Entries section<\/strong> and giving the series name and the data range in the dialog box that appears- Edit Series<\/strong>. We will write Rebound as the Series name<\/strong>, and choose one rebound from the column E<\/strong>:<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n
        \"\"<\/figure>\n\n\n\n

        We will click OK<\/strong> and one data point<\/strong> will be added:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
