Moving the Chart

Note: For help with these instructions, see the image example above.

Once you have finished with the Excel Chart Wizard, your chart will appear on your worksheet. Most likely it will appear on top of your data, where you probably don't want it.

    To move it for this tutorial

    1. Click on the white background of the chart.

    2. Hold down the left mouse button and move your mouse.

When you start to move the mouse pointer it will change into a four headed black arrow (indicated with a red arrow in the image above). Drag and drop your chart anywhere on the Excel worksheet.
