Create and Update chart in word document based on table data within the same word document

Naren892 · ‎May 19 2023

I would like to create a bar chart based on an existing table in a Word document and also, would like to update the chart automatically if I make any changes in the table data. Is there any way to achieve it?

@Naren892 You need to right click in the chart and then left click on Edit Data. There is no simple way of getting the chart to reflect the data entered into the Content Control. It may be better to use Excel.
