Object › Graph › Data (and the graph tool after drawing) opens the Graph Data window as a worksheet, as https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/add-graph-data.html and https://helpx.adobe.com/illustrator/desktop/automate-visualize-data/visualize-data/adjust-column-width.html describe, in place of a free-text CSV field. - The first row holds the series labels, the first column the category labels, the other cells the values. A click picks a cell, edited in the entry box above the sheet: Tab enters it and moves right, Enter down (Shift: the other way), the arrow keys move between cells. Pasting tab- or line-separated text fills cells from the picked one. - Import Data reads a tab-separated text file (UTF-8, or UTF-16 with a byte-order mark), at most a graph's 10,000 × 256 cells. - Transpose row/column and Switch x/y (scatter graphs) rearrange the sheet; Revert reads the graph's data again; Cell Style sets the decimals shown and the columns' width. Apply redraws the graph and leaves the window open. - The sheet reads and writes the graph's series, categories and rows (not CSV), so labels with commas, quotes or `|`, blank labels and graphs without category labels come back as they were. - Only the cells in view are drawn, read in place, so a full-size sheet stays responsive. Own choices, as the pages don't say: Number of Decimals only changes what the sheet shows; Transpose is off when it would make more series than a graph holds; the arrow keys move between cells rather than the caret. Dragging a column's edge to resize it isn't supported yet.
