Hi there,

I am attempting to produce a combination Line and Bar Graph from a set
of data for my Master's thesis. My problem lies in the fact that out of
5 columns of data I want the data from column 1 to be represented as a
bar and the other 4 columns of data represented as 4 lines, all on the
same chart. The chart wizard appears to automatically turn each
alternate column of data into bar then line and so on. This leaves me
with a chart that has two sets of bars and 3 sets of lines which is no
good to me.

Does anyone know how to control which columns are represented by bars
or lines?

Thankyou:)

Surely you can highlight a set of bars, click on chart options and
select line chart.

Start with a line chart of all of the data. Select the one series, and on
the Chart menu choose Chart Type, and select the Column type.
