Shortcut key for creating charts in Excel… (2024)

Making a simple chartI'm using a Mac airbook, Retina, 13-in, 2019, OS 10.15.3, and I can't seem to make a simple chart!I select data in column B, with X-axis labels in column A, and I click on a simple line chart. I can get the Y-value labels on the left to go from 0 to 10,000 in ten steps, and I can get the X-axis to show the labels in column A, but when I click on Add Chart Data (which should already be on the chart since I started by selecting the data I wanted charted) I can't select anything or type in any cell references.Any help would be appreciated!Rich

Can you delete the value labels in a chart?MacOS 10.14.4Pages 8.0I am trying to make a chart, but I don't want the Y-axis value labels to appear on the chart (the numbers are completely arbitrary, and all I'm trying to show is a general trend). I can reduce it down to one number (the highest) but I can't delete or hide that number.Double-clicking the value labels and pressing delete does nothing.The background is not a solid color so changing the color of the text cannot hide the value.Currently the workaround is to duplicate background, bring it to the front and crop it over the one value I want hidden. But that seems like a lot of work for something so simple sounding as deleting the value label.Any other thoughts/suggestions would be welcome.

How do I remove this outer line from my charts?I'm using Numbers and Keynote for a presentation I have coming up soon, and every single one of my charts has this thin line around the outside. I cannot figure out how to remove it! I am aware that when you open up the format pane in Numbers, there is a section under the Chart tab titled "Background and Border Style" but change that will only change the board around the chart itself and not around the entire thing.Any help would be very appreciated! Thanks!
