How do re-order values assigned by Excel for chart data?
I am creating a chart to compare values year over year. Ordering in the
worksheet reads Dec-Jan Left to Right. When I select the series in chart wizard, excel is assigning Jan as value 12, Feb as value 11, etc with Dec as 1. Then I attempt to add Jan and Feb of 2006 and it assigns Feb as value 1 and Jan as value 2---therefore comparing it to Dec and Jan of 2005. Any ideas on how to change the way excel is reading these values? Thanks |

Tell us how the data is layout on the worksheet and where the "new" Jan is
entered. best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "suezylogan" wrote in message ... I am creating a chart to compare values year over year.

thanks for the reply. The worksheet is set up with the furthest left column
as Dec 2006 -reading left to right through Jan 2005 which is the furthest right colum. i.e., 12/06 11/06 10/06 ......12/05 11/05 ....1/05 "Bernard Liengme" wrote: Tell us how the data is layout on the worksheet and where the "new" Jan is entered. best wishes -- Bernard V Liengme www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email "suezylogan" wrote in message ...
