Select parts of a graph

  1. Select the Group Selection tool .
  2. Click the legend of the columns you want to select.
  3. Without moving the Group Selection tool pointer from the legend, click again. All of the columns grouped with the legend are selected.

    You can also select a group by clicking one of its parts, clicking again to select columns grouped with it, and clicking a third time to select the legend. Each click adds another layer of grouped objects to the selection, beginning with the next group up in the hierarchy. You can click as many times as the number of groups to add to a selection.

  4. To deselect part of a selected group, select the Direct Selection tool , and Shift‑click the object.
