To edit chart data in Keynote, you primarily interact with the Chart Data editor after selecting your chart.
Accessing and Modifying Chart Data
Keynote makes it straightforward to update the data that drives your charts. Here are the steps based on the standard process:
- Select the Chart: Begin by clicking on the chart you wish to modify within your Keynote slide. This action makes the chart active and reveals relevant options.
- Open the Data Editor: With the chart selected, look for and click the Edit Chart Data button. This button opens a separate window or panel, which is the Chart Data editor.
- Modify Data or Structure: Inside the Chart Data editor, you will see your chart's data presented in a table-like format.
- To edit individual data points, click on the specific cell containing the data you want to change and type the new value.
- To manage the structure of your data (like adding or removing series/categories), you can click a row or column button located in the top-right corner of the Chart Data editor. These buttons typically allow you to add or delete rows or columns, which correspond to your chart's data series and categories.
- Close the Editor: Once you have made all necessary changes to your data within the Chart Data editor, simply close the editor window. Keynote will automatically update your chart on the slide to reflect the new data.
