What is the first step to move a chart to a new sheet in Excel?

To move a chart to a new sheet in Excel, the first step is to access the chart tools and select the "Move Chart" option. This functionality is specifically designed to facilitate the process of relocating a chart from its current embedded location within a worksheet to a new, separate sheet dedicated solely to that chart.

When you choose "Move Chart," a dialog box typically appears, allowing you to either place the chart in a new chart sheet or an existing one. This process ensures that the chart retains its formatting, data connections, and interactivity, which would not be preserved if you merely copied the chart or altered its data source.

Other methods, such as copying the chart, changing its data source, or resizing it, do not serve the purpose of moving the chart to a different sheet. They may involve chart management but are not the first steps in relocating a chart effectively.
