Ampler Charts lets you delete a series from the data table, removing it from both the table and the chart.
Quick answer: Right-click the data table and click Delete row, repeating for each series you want to remove.
How to use it
Right-click the data table and delete the series’ row.
- Right-click on the data table.
- Click Delete row — repeat for each series you want to remove.
The series is removed from the data table and the chart, unlike hiding, which keeps it in the table.
How consultants use it
Removing a series entirely is different from hiding it, and the choice matters for what the reader can see. Three habits apply:
- Delete to remove entirely: the series leaves both the table and the chart
- Hide to keep the figure: hiding keeps the value in the table
- Choose deliberately: delete when the series isn’t needed at all
Deleting a series removes it from both the table and the chart.
Tips & best practices
- Delete a series only when it isn’t needed anywhere on the exhibit.
- Hide (don’t delete) when the figure should stay in the table.
- Edit the data sheet if you need to keep the series but change its values.
