Default inverting data for a graph

If you are talking about the Y (vertical) axis:

1. Select the data series you want to reverse
2. Format-Selected Data Series
3. Axis tab, select "Secondary axis"
4. Select the second Y axis
5. Format-Selected axis
6. Scale tab, tick "Values in reverse order"

If you are talking about the X (horizontal) axis, it is a little trickier,
but this should get you there to start with and you can tweak stuff
afterwards:

1. Do steps 1-3 as above
2. Chart-Chart Options
3. Axes tab, under "Secondary axis", tick "Category (X) axis" and untick
"Value(Y) Axis"
4. Select the second X axis
5. Format-Selected axis
6. Scale tab, tick "Categories in reverse order"

I've seen comments that this only works for Scatter (XY) charts, but it
works on a line chart for me, so maybe they were talking about an older
version.

Well I have two series that graphed, so inverting the axis inverts both
series. I only want one series inverted is this possible?

Click on a chart axis, then Format-Selected Axis...

Under the "Scale" tab, tick "Values in reverse order"

Is there a way I could invert a series on a graph? Lets say my data points
are 3,9,2,4,7, but I really want graphed 7,4,2,9,3. Is there a way I could
just switch this in chart options? Here's the complicated part, a simple
solution would be to just invert the numbers in the worksheet using the index
function. However, I'm trying to record a macro and it seems impossible to do
if I use the index function because for different groups of data I'm not sure
what my last cell number will be. Any help?
