If the data is okay (i.e., numerical, not imported as text), then you can
create your chart, but in step 2 of the chart wizard click on the series
tab, and adjust the data ranges for each series. It takes a little longer,
but it does work. Or you can swap columns, since you've indicated that that
works.

If you are making XY charts, and the data is arranged in a regular pattern,
you could try the Quick XY Charts utility, which I have just released for
public beta testing. It's an Excel add-in, which interfaces directly with
Excel. You can download it from

This page also has instructions on installation and use of the utility.
