    Charts not recognizing label column. Chart values appear to be fine.

    Hello,

    I apologize if this has come up, I was unable to find a relevant post.

    I currently have a data set with Dollar Values in Column E, an internal reason code in Column F and an additional reason code in Column G.

    Amount DeletionReason DeletionReason2
    60 Customer Removing Hardware Decommissioned Hardware
    88 Customer Removing Hardware Decommissioned Hardware
    105 Customer Removing Hardware Cloud
    4874 Customer Replacing Hardware Equipment Refresh
    11 Customer Removing Hardware Decommissioned Hardware
    81 Customer Removing Hardware Decommissioned Hardware
    28 Customer Keeping Hardware Reduction In Service Level

    Excel creates a recommended graph from Columns E&F summing up the amount by deletion reason with no issues. It will not do this when selecting Column E and G though. I know there are other options to complete this, but end users have brought this question up to me and I have been unable as of yet to find an explanation.

    Any help would be greatly appreciated.

    I don't know if this will help, but sometimes it pays to "get under the hood" with charts. Right click on any part of the chart and select Select Data. Take a look at the Horizontal (Category) Axis Labels. This is what Excel thinks it's plotting. This can be any range of cells: even one not associated with the chart. However it's nice to have a range that matches the number of values you are plotting.
    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.
