    Data not plotting correctly in chart - blank values?

    Hello, I have a simple xy scatter plot with data comprising an incremental y axis (depth) and an x axis with irregular data and some blanks.

    Please see attached sheet.

    The problem is that the x-axis is not plotting correctly and is plotting values from a source that I cannot determine - possible the value order number?

    Possibly due to 'blank' values but tried several workarounds to no avail...

    Any help appreciated.

    Hi,

    Odd behavior indeed!

    in C2 and copy it down, then change the X data source to column C it should sort out the issue for you.
