Using a filled AND unfilled radar chart series on the same chart magically
adds an extra category. Is there any way to prevent this?

Excel v12.0.6504.5001 SP2 MSO 12.0.6425.1000

Hi,

I can not reproduce this. I appear to have the same version code as you.
Can you describe how your data is laid out and what steps you did to create
the chart.

Cheers
Andy

I have uploaded a sample spreadsheet showing the problem.

Hi,

Thanks for posting example.
I can confirm that mixing filled and non-filled radar type causes the
addition of a extra non named category.
So for a chart with 4 points the radar shape is a square. Change 1 of the 2
series to fill radar and the radar becomes a pentagon.

I will check whether this has been reported as a bug and if not will do so.

Only work around is to use Filled radar and set one of the Marker Fills to
none.

Cheers
Andy
