To create a chart, first select the data to be used in the chart. Open the soft keyboard by selecting the keyboard icon at the bottom of the screen. Use the stylus to select one corner cell. Select Shift, and then select additional cells. Or you can tap and drag the stylus over the range of cells you want included in the chart.
