Hi all,
I'm trying to make a line graph that displays quarterly growth rates for 7 different industries.
I want the Quarter growth rates on the X - Axis and the industries represented by different colored lines. However, whenever I select more than 3 industries it then automatically switches the axis around with the Industry names on the x-Axis and the the growth rates represented by different lines. How can I control which data belongs on each axis?
In addition, is there a way I can edit the axis labels from the graph opposed from changing the table headings that the graph is being derived from?
Any help is appreciated.
Thanks
You need to change the Plot by (Series in) setting. Right click chart and pick Source Data... On the Data Range tab.
In xl2007 there is a button to Switch Row/Column layout.
You can convert the Category labels to a static array. Select the data series and then in the formula bar select the range section that refers to the category labels. Press F9 and the range will be converted to an array.
You can now change the text but it will no longer be linked to cells. Also note there is a finite limit to the length of the series formula so if your text is too long it will not work.
Another alternative is to use some other cells to contain the text rather than the table heading.
