What happens when you change the data in a worksheet associated with a chart?

When the data in a worksheet associated with a chart is changed, what happens to the chart?

The chart is automatically updated.

Automatic Chart Update

When the data that has been used to create a chart is modified, it is quite natural for the chart to be automatically updated. The Excel program accomplishes this automatically when data is changed in a worksheet, and the chart that is associated with that data is automatically updated.

Chart Deletion

The chart will not be deleted when you modify the data in a worksheet. As long as the worksheet is not deleted or moved, the chart will remain associated with the worksheet, and will continue to update itself when data is modified.

Chart Graying Out

The chart will not be grayed out, since the data is still valid and the chart is still linked to the worksheet. Hence, the correct option is "The chart is automatically updated".

Real-Time Updates

It is worth noting that when data is modified in a worksheet, the chart will be updated in real-time and will reflect the modifications made to the data. This is one of the benefits of using charts to visualize data, as it makes it easier to identify and analyze trends and patterns in the data.
