If you need to add additional data from the spreadsheet to the chart after it's created, you can adjust the source data area. Select the chart. In the worksheet, click a sizing handle for the source data and drag it to include the additional data. The new data needs to be in cells adjacent to the existing chart data.

The only way to change the size of a chart title is to change the font size. Manual resizing is not possible in chart titles (and never was). If you want more control over the chart title, you can manually insert a text box, which can be sized and formatted as you like.

To do this, leave the chart title box blank (or delete it), then click anywhere on the chart, then click the Layout tab under Chart tools, then click Text Box under Insert, then drag open a text box on the chart and type your chart title into it. This text box can be resized, formatted etc. Was this reply helpful?
