Numbers spreadsheet data not updating on graph

I've Created a table with a corresponding bar graph. When I add a new row in the table and enter the numbers in the body of the table, the bar graph shows the new numbers for that new row. When I enter the text in the header of that row, the chart doesn’t update. It’s just blank.


So rather than simply adding new rows and entering the new data and having the chart show the changes, I have to delete the old graph and create a new graph to show the changes to the table.


im Wondering if there something I can do to have the graph show the updated text.

Hello darian174,


Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. It appears you're using an iOS device for Numbers. Since the chart is not updating accordingly, we suggest to follow each of these steps for the Numbers app as it can help:


1. Close and reopen the app
Force the app to close. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
 
2. Restart your device
Restart your iPhone or restart your iPad. Then open the app to see if it works as expected.
 
3. Check for updates
To see if updates are available for the app, open the App Store, tap your profile icon, then scroll down to see if updates are available. If updates aren't available for the app, update the software on your iPhone or iPad.
 
4. Delete the app, then redownload it
Delete the app. When you do this, you might lose data that was stored in the app. Then redownload the app. Then check to see if the problem with the app is fixed.

These steps are outlined in this helpful article: If an app on your iPhone or iPad stops responding, closes unexpectedly, or won’t open - Apple Support


If that does not help, we recommend to contact Apple Support to review this further. You can contact them by using this link here: Apple - Get Support


Kind regards.
