    Question can't plot seccond series

    I am trying to make a line chart with 2 data series. Only series 1 shows up on the chart. AS you can see series 1 is fine. The data runs from o70 to o87. I created series 2 with data from p70 to p87. The data on the chart is the red line. When I click on any value it says that value is 0 instead of 15,45,54. etc.
    Can someone tell me what I am doing wrong?

    Looks like you’re only plotting half the first series too. I note from the picture that you have green triangles against the values that are not plotted. I suspect you have text values that look like numbers rather than true numeric values.

    Problem is solved by making sure all values added were numbers. I did not create the original sheet but only tried to add charts. I do not know why the original sheet had cells numbered as text.
