Default add source data to chart in excel

I can't get Excel to accept more than 19 data points for my X-axis in a
chart? Is this a limit? How do I add more data points? (As soon as I try to
add the 20th point, all of the other points are lost.)

Hi Susan

I have had this trouble in the past. Try....

Right click chart and select 'Source Data'.
Delete any existing source data and close dialog box.
Select the source data you require and copy it.
Click on the chart and paste.

The best way around this problem is to put your data into a contiguous
range, so you don't have to select a bunch of individual cells.
