How to select series in chart?
I know I asked this question before, but (sigh) I cannot find the
answer now, when I need it of course. How can I select a series in an Excel chart (XY Scatter) using the keyboard, not the mouse? The issue is: I have overlapping series, so it is difficult for me to select a series by moving the mouse cursor to a point in one series and right-clicking it, as I normally do. Someone once mentioned a ctrl and/or shift key combination (I think) that would allow me to select each series explicit in round-robin fashion. That is what I am looking for again. More generally, how could I have found the answer to that question on my own? Perhaps an Excel Help page. I do not see what I am looking for in the "keyboard shortcuts" Help page. TIA. |

To select a chart object w/the keyboard, select any object then use the up/down arrow keys. To select a particular element in an object (a single point in a series, for example), after selecting the object use the left/right arrow keys. You can also select an object with the drop-down selector in the Chart toolbar that pops up whenever you select a chart. Bingo! That's it -- both ways. Thanks. I will save this message. PS: The arrow keys are indeed documented in the keyboard shortcut Help page. I had misread it earlier. |
