How to add a new month to the existing bar graph?

Question: How to add a new month to the existing bar chart?

I have 3 rows. Oct 2025, April 2026, May 2026

The headings are: Month, Start Value, End Value, Change

The bar chart has the 3 start values and then the 3 end values then the 3 change

I added a 4th row and the formulas and they change values as they should.
The June values are just dummy values.

But I do not know how to add the 4th month to the existing bar chart that updates as well.

I can create a new one but then I have to re-create the chart details.

    Try this:

    highlight those 4 new cells and COPY

    click on the chart then under Home-Clipboard select the drop drown for PASTE and select PASTE SPECIAL

    Then select New Series, Rows and Series Names in First Column (like shown in the image above)
