Edit this by manually typing in your numbers and categories or copy and paste an existing table. Plus, clicking on any marker in the line graph will highlight the relevant cell on the table so you can easily identify and edit a given value.

Choose colors, fonts, and add data labels

Personalize your graph to reflect your brand colors or preferences by going to the color palette tool.
