You can move a chart to any location on a worksheet or to a new or existing worksheet. You can also change the size of the chart for a better fit.

By default, a chart is moved and sized with cells. When you change the size of cells on the worksheet, the size of the chart adjusts accordingly. You can change this positioning option if you don't want to move or resize the chart together with the worksheet cells.

  1. Click anywhere in the chart.

    This displays the Chart Tools option on the ribbon

  2. Under Chart Tools, on the Design tab, in the Location group, click Move Chart.
