Mathematical Chart with custom X axis

E

Eckhard Geerdes

Hi,
I have the X and Y values in a table and want to make a graph with them.
Excel defines the X axis itself with the number of values in the table.
I want to define the X values myself.

My valuies are e.g.:
X - Y
0 - 13
20 - 38
45 - 62
53 - 84

Excel shows now on X=1 two graphs at 20 and 38 which doens't make sence for
me.
How can I do it?

Are you sure you are making an XY chart. You do not want a LINE chart which
treats the x-values as categories not numeric values.
best wishes

Hi,

As Bernard implies, you are using the wrong chart type:

1. Select your data and click the Chart Wizard button
2. Choose XY (Scatter) and pick the 1st subtype
3. preceed as needed.


In 2007,
1. Select the data and choose Insert,
2. Open the Scatter dropdown and choose the 1st subtype.
