    Question X axis is using wrong values (not from y axis) Office 2011 Mac

    My x axis is increasing by increments of 1 when I need to use specific values. I'm not sure what to do to fix this.

    Hi,

    Wrong chart type. Instead of LinePlot use ScatterPlot (XY type) - see attached.

    It looks like you are using a line chart without specifying what to use for the x axis data. Reading between the lines, I expect you want an XY scatter chart using column A as the X values and column B as the Y values: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...478.aspx?CTT=1
