Does anyone know if there is a limit to the number of items you can
have on the x-axis of a chart in MS excel? *Right now I am being
limited to 7 (e.g. when I try to add more than 7 values to my data
series, I am unable to so). *Thanks!- Hide quoted text -

Hi there. Thanks for your response. I am trying to update an existing
bar chart (which currently shows only 7 items across the x-axis--I'd
like it show 9). I went to source data--series. When I try to
update the values in which I would like to edit (which are also housed
on my data sheet), it only allows me to choose 7 of the 9 percentages
that I'd like to incorporate.
