How to Move Charts in Excel
Start by creating your data in a table. The free example spreadsheet is available to download below for you to follow along.
Once you have created your data points, like the table those featured to the left of the example spreadsheet, continue to insert a graph of your choosing. A table should appear, just like the one featured in the sample.
To move the graph within the document, simply place your mouse inside the graph. Your cursor should change to multiple arrows pointing in the 4 cardinal directions. From this point, you can simply click in the blank white space of your graph and move it anywhere you wish, and then drop the graph where you want it to be.
If you want to move your graph to another worksheet, you can easily copy and paste it into your new document.
