Pie graphs Plot only one row of data, either all positive or all negative values. If you plot 
additional rows of data, a separate pie graph is created for each additional row. You cannot 
combine positive and negative values. The size of the individual pie graphs is proportional 
to the total of each graph’s data.
Radar graphs Enter labels for the axes in the first column and a set of numbers in each 
successive column. Each label results in a separate axis; unlike other graphs, a radar graph 
can have more than two axes per graph. Each number is plotted on an axis and connected 
to the others in the same axis to create a “web.” (See 
Importing data from another application
If you first save data files as text in other applications, you can import the data files into 
Adobe Illustrator. In the text files, each cell must be separated by a tab, and each row must 
be separated by a carriage return. 
You can cut and paste data from a spreadsheet application such as Lotus
®
 1-2-3 or 
Microsoft Excel using your computer’s cut and paste procedures. 
The data can only contain decimal points or decimal commas; otherwise, the data is not 
plotted. For example, enter 732000, not 732,000.
To import data from another application:
Create a graph. Make sure that the graph is selected.
If the graph data dialog box is not already open, choose Object > Graph > Data.
Click the cell that will be the top left cell of the data that you import.
Click the Import Data button 
Open the file that you want to import. The data is imported and entered into the work 
sheet in the graph data dialog box.
Click the Apply button  . The graph is updated with the imported data.
To copy and paste data from another application:
Open the application and file containing the data you want to copy, select the data, 
and choose Edit > Copy to copy the data to the Clipboard.
Open the Adobe Illustrator program.
Create a graph. Make sure that the graph is selected.
If the graph data dialog box is not already open, choose Object > Graph > Data.
Click the cell that will be the top left cell of the data you paste.
Choose Edit > Paste. The data is pasted into the cells in the graph data dialog box.
Click the Apply button  . The graph is updated with the pasted data.
Editing existing data
You can edit data you entered in the graph data dialog box. The Cut and Copy commands 
move data to the Clipboard; the Paste command moves data from the Clipboard into a 
work sheet. The Clear command erases the entire selection, either within the text or as a 
set of cells. The Delete key functions as both a Delete key and a Backspace key for a 
single cell.
