Graphing using text??
I am a schoolteacher and grade pupils on levels which have lettered bands
within, such as 6a, 6b, 6c etc. Is there a way to plot these on an excel chart without meassigning them values, such as 68, 65, 62 etc????? Please help... Maybe it is a programming issue so I post there too. Thanks. |

You do need to assign numerical values, because Excel plots text as zero.
You could use a lookup table for this. To make the axis display text instead of numbers, use a dummy series as your new axis: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/ArbitraryAxis.html http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/Y_CategoryAxis.html - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ "PG Oriel" wrote in message ...
