Default How to select numeric 'series axis' in a surface chart?

Thanks! It is working now! The top left cell looked empty but it was not. I
pressed the Delete button on the keyboard, tried again and the axis is now
displayed with numbers.

Best regards,

Hi,

I could only replicate your problem when the top left cell was not empty.
You can use the source data dialog to add series names and category
labels.

Cheers

Hello,

When I make a 3D surface chart in Excel, the 'series axis' is
automatically displayed as S1, S2, etc. How can I have that axis display
numbers?

My table is in the following form:
5 10 15
2 45 48 62
4 35 34 60
6 12 13 58

When I make my surface chart, I select all the cells for the data range
(including the top left blank one) and select series in columns but Excel
does not change the series in numbers automatically (Series1, Series2 and
Series3 are displayed instead of 5, 10 and 15). For example Series2
includes 5, 45, 35, 12 (but it should include 45, 35, 12) and the Name
cell is empty.

How can I make Excel to display numbers instead of series automatically
(without having to select all the cells manually)?

Thank you for your help,

S.Grossmann
