Line charts can illustrate what are called data series. A data series is a group of data with similar characteristics. They can be in rows or columns. Below, you can see two series of data in columns: (a) dates, (b): sales numbers. Both data series have a title (Date, Sales).
- Tap a cell at the top of one of the series. This will create a box around the cell with a circle at the bottom.
- Tap, hold, and drag the circle so the box surrounds both series. Be careful not to include data that is not in the series. In this case, we do not include cell D12 because it is not a sales number for a certain date.
