how do I update the chart axis values??
I created a Gantt (bar chart) chart in Numbers for a project at work showing schedules. It looked fine, and everything worked great. I want to use that same chart, but I want to just update the data in it. I can get the bars to change, but the Y axis data (not the numbered values in the chart, but rather the the actual names out to the side of the chart) will not change. For instance....
Name |
Start Date | Finish |
---|---|---|
Task 1 | January 1, 2013 |
January 15, 2013 |
Task 2 | February 1, 2013 | February 15, 2013 |
The Tasks on the left will be the Y axis fields in a bar chart....and the dates will populate the graph. I've created my graph from this data and got it like I want it. Now let's say I want to simply change some things in the Name column:
Name | Start Date | Finish |
---|---|---|
New Task | January 1, 2013 | January 15, 2013 |
Task 4 | February 1, 2013 | February 15, 2013 |
So without creating a new chart or anything, I just want to reflect the new names in my existing chart. In Excel, when you change the value data, it updates the chart and "it just works" 🙂. I'm wanting to use Numbers for this, and I feel like this is a simple thing that I'm just missing. Help!
