Insert a new chart
- Place the cursor where you want the chart.
- Go to Insert → Chart.
- Pick Bar, Column, Line, or Pie—Docs inserts a placeholder backed by a hidden sheet.
Insert a chart from an existing sheet
- Go to Insert → Chart → From Sheets.
- Choose the spreadsheet, then the chart inside it.
- Leave Link to spreadsheet checked if you want the chart to update when the source sheet changes.
Edit the chart''s data
- Click the chart and then the dropdown in its top-right.
- Choose Open source to jump to the underlying sheet.
- Edit the data, return to Docs, and click Update on the chart.
Style the chart
Double-click the chart in Sheets and use the Customize tab to change titles, colors, and labels before updating in Docs.
