Hi, using Excel 2007 i am creating a line chart using price and quantity
data. When creating chart excel default values to x and y axis (X - price and
y - Quantity), However i require these axiss to be inverted.

How do i manually select which values got on which axis?

Hi Samy,

It sounds like this is not a line chart but an XY-Scatter?

Here are a number of ways to do this:
1. You can select the series on the chart and edit the Series formula. For
example in the formula below:
=SERIES(Sheet1!$D$4,Sheet1!$C$5:$C$15,Sheet1!$D$5: $D$15,1)
You would swap the C5:C15 and D5:D15 references
2. You can choose ChartTools, Design, Select Data, Edit and reselect the
two ranges
3. You can select the series on the chart and then drag the border of the
blue highlight down one row and over to the other column, then drag the
purple highlight where the first range is, and then move the blue border up
one row to highlight the second range.

Cheers,
Shane Devenshire

Also, when you set up your next chart, put the X values in the column to the
left of the Y values.

Regarding this part of your tip:

So after you have created the chart you need to use
Chart Tools Design Data Select Data.
In this dialog Edit the series and swap the x and y values.

What version of Excel does this work for? I am using Excel XP and trying to
do the same thing as the original poster, but dont see any of these options.

Thanks.

Hi,

Unfortunately Excel tries to help by ordering the selected range.
So with data in A2:B6, and X values in column B if you try this selection,

$B$2:$B$6,$A$2:$A$6

Excel converts it to $A$2:$B$6 and then takes the first column as the x
values.

That's Excel 2007. It's easier in 2002:

Chart menu Source Data Series tab.
