You will probably delete your chart and start over by creating a new one with the new data included. But there is a much smoother way.
Start by entering the information in the spreadsheet just as usual. In our example, it is about adding a new column with values. Then you select all the cells that contain new information and press Ctrl + C.
Then click in the chart area so that it is selected. Now it’s just a matter of pressing Ctrl + V then the chart will automatically update with the new information.
