Default Cannot combine chart type error with only one chart.

That error message does not have anything to do with multiple charts/moving
charts. Its telling you that you can' combine chart types. I.e., you can't
make a chart with 1 series being a chart, and the other being a line chart.
Commonly used combination charts are column-line, scatter-column.

Hope this gives you a better idea of what's going wrong.

I am receiving the error "Some chart types cannot be combined with other
chart types. Select a different chart type."

Funny thing is... this is the only chart I am trying to create. There are no
other charts in the entire workbook. Moving the data to another sheet in the
workbook does not work.

I am running excel 07.

I can copy the data to a new workbook and create the chart with no problem.
Is it possible that something in this specific workbook is corrupted?
If I copy the chart from the new workbook to the bad one, all the data
"disappears".

I would be happy to email the file in question to someone who thinks they
can help.
