What if I DON'T want the chart to be updated when source data changes?
I'm using a huge spreadsheet to create a series of charts. I need to
re-sort the *entire* spreadsheet for each chart I create, which causes all the previous charts to change. How can I create a chart, "freeze" it, and then go on to create more charts from different data on the same spreadsheet? |

the easiest way to do it is to copy the chart as a picture (hold
shift)editCopy as pictureand paste the picture in a sheet. the other way to do it is to create a new copy of the data sheet for each chart you need to make.
