Have done all you suggested to solve my same problem of
data displaying with integers as x variable. But despite
following directions as best I can, the data refuses to
plot as a scatter chart. Help!
-----Original Message-----
The line wrapping really distorted your data table.

Do you want the left column on the Y axis and the right
column(s) on the
X? Charting is normally facilitated if the X data is
further left. Also,
all series in a line chart use the same X axis values,
and the values
are treated as equally spaced, even if they are not
evenly spaced
numerically. So you may want to use an XY Scatter chart
instead (which
can of course be formatted with lines connecting the
points).

You don't need to rearrange the data even if it means
more work. Try
this procedure.

Select an empty cell surrounded by other empty cells,
and start the
chart wizard. In step 1 select XY Scatter for chart
type, with whatever
subtype you like. In step 2, choose the Series tab,
click on Add, then
using the selection boxes, choose the X and Y ranges and
name for the
first series. Click Add again and repeat this for the
second series, and
for as many series as you have to plot..
