Default Scatter Diagrams

Make sure the chart is using the correct data for its X values.
Make sure these data are truly numeric, and not numbers stored as text.

The x values will not display properly. They just plot as if they were
the
numbers 1 2 3 etc but the y values are fine.
If I make the reverse the x and y data the graph works but is of
course

in the format I want
Suggestions please
