stupidly easy question
 

i am having a problem creating a graph with the year on the (x) asix and a value on the (y) axis. when i try and make the graph, the wizard always puts the year as a value, not as the (x) axis...

how can i make the year as the(x) axis?!

thanks in advance,

confused.

Depending on how you've constructed your data in the cells
Try to select :" Rows " or " Columns "
after you've defined the Source data Data Range Series In: Rows

Columns

for example:

Year 1980 1985 1990 1995 2000 2005
Millions of Gallon 1750 3500 4000 4000 5100 11000

this is in the spreadsheet, but it always thinks the year is a value, and puts it in the graph as "series 2", and along the x axis it just puts 1 2 3 4 5 instead of the years....

thanks in advance!

Hi

Right click on your graph and choose Source data.
Click on Series Tab
Delete Series 1 Years, and juts have series for Millions.
Click icon at the end of the Category (X) axis labels, and point to
B1:G1
Click OK
