I need to chart some data points!
I am trying to chart two columns from a .csv file. In the Chart Wizard.
When it gets to the Data Range, the field is blank. So I high lite the two columns again, and try to hit next button. Microsoft excel says, "A formula in this worksheet contains one or more invalid references. Verify that formulas contain a valid path, workbook, range name, and cell reference. It won't chart my data. What should I do? Is it 2003 excel fault? If I try to chart a .xml file with the same steps and it works. Also out of the high lited columns; Data Range field is already filled in correctly with columns check marked. And then it charts for me! Does excel 2003 chart .csv files? |

A couple thoughts:
1 - Do you have headers for every column? 2 - Have you tried saving as .xls first? "gford" wrote: I am trying to chart two columns from a .csv file. In the Chart Wizard.

I need to chart some data points!
Hello Sean, Thank you for responding to me! Yes there are headers for every
column. I am a realtor exporting data out of MLS and it only exports in .csv files. The headers I am trying to graph are sold price vs. sold date. And there is a string of numbers below each header. I highlight both headers and then hit the chart icon. The data range field is blank. At this point I try to re-highlight and I still get the same error message. Have any ideas?

Perhaps I don't know the definitions? Which question did I not answer?
Please specify. MLS only exports in .csv files. Can I convert them? I thought that I identified what a header was. Sold price vs. sold date. If not please specify.

"2 - Have you tried saving as .xls first?"
Use Save As for any open file of any format to save with a different name or format. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "gford" wrote in message ...
