Data disappears when I edit the chart.
nI have a x-y chart created from a spreadsheet made last year. There are 5
data series plotted in different color symbols. Now when I try to edit it (change the source data columns), one of the symbol sets for one series just flat disappears--though it is still shown in the legend. There is no difference in the number ranges between the sets so it's not an axis-scale problem. I have copied all the data into a new xls file and re-created the graph. All the data points show up except for that one series--even though its label shows up in the legend, no points. I have made sure that all the source numbers are formatted as numbers. I have been a major Excel user for 15 years and have never encountered this. |

Make sure the new data range for that misbehaving series contains
numbers, not text. Remove formatting from the cells: if it's left aligned it's text, right aligned numeric. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier Peltier Technical Services, Inc. 774-275-0064 http://peltiertech.com/ On 4/7/2010 11:38 AM, Marith wrote: nI have a x-y chart created from a spreadsheet made last year.
