Reverse chart order
I'm running Office 2007 and all my charts are showing up in reverse
order: I want a bar graph that looks like this: Series 1 --------------------------------Column 1 Series 1 -------------------------Column 2 Series 1 -------------------------------------Column 3 Series 2 --------------------------------------Column 1 Series 2------------------Column 2 Series 2--------------------------Column 3 What I'm getting is: Series 2--------------------------Column 3 Series 2------------------Column 2 Series 2----------------------Column 1 D3M -------------------------------------Column 3 D3M -------------------------Column 2 D3M --------------------------------Column 1 All column and row headers are set to General, but I've tried setting them to text as well. I need to have the columns in a certain order for reporting. I can only switch one column so the other still ends up out of order. Ideally, I would just be able to click the button like Office 2007 says you're supposed to be able to and it would work. Is there a setting somewhere that needs to be changed or has anyone else experienced this problem? |
Reverse chart order
Hi,
This is not really a xl2007 problem more that's how bar charts are constructed. Data builds up from origin of chart, which has the effect of reversing the data in cells. Select the Y axis and on the Format Axis dialog select Axis Options. Check 'Categories in reverse order' AND 'Horizontal axis crosses at Maximum category' Cheers Andy Divinite wrote: I'm running Office 2007 and all my charts are showing up in reverse order: I want a bar graph that looks like this: Series 1 --------------------------------Column 1 Series 1 -------------------------Column 2 Series 1 -------------------------------------Column 3 Series 2 --------------------------------------Column 1 Series 2------------------Column 2 Series 2--------------------------Column 3 What I'm getting is: Series 2--------------------------Column 3 Series 2------------------Column 2 Series 2----------------------Column 1 D3M -------------------------------------Column 3 D3M -------------------------Column 2 D3M --------------------------------Column 1 All column and row headers are set to General, but I've tried setting them to text as well.
