MS Office Forum / Excel / New Users / September 2007Line Graph: Changing X/Y Axis'
Can somebody please help to recommend a tutorial or simple directions on creating a chart in Office 2007 that will show how to create a simple line chart (2-D is fine) that gives flexibility in flipping the x and y axis? This seems challenging in 2007... Thanks. You cannot 'flip' a Line chart. In a Line chart the x axis has category values and if flipped this would give category values to the y axis which must have numeric values. But you can readily flip an XY chart. Click the chart; from the Chart Tools select Design; Click Select Data; now use Edit. In the Edit dialog, select the new x-range and the new y-range. best wishes  SignatureBernard V Liengme Microsoft Excel MVP www.stfx.ca/people/bliengme remove caps from email > Can somebody please help to recommend a tutorial or simple directions > on creating a chart in Office 2007 that will show how to create a > simple line chart (2-D is fine) that gives flexibility in flipping the > x and y axis?

When I want numbers with less value(ie smaller numbers) on the y axis, it never happens. On Sep 12, 9:12 am, "Bernard Liengme" <blien...@stfx.TRUENORTH.ca> wrote: > You cannot 'flip' a Line chart.

Choose the data (ie the x's, then the y's) separately. If you get it the wrong way around (and I usually do the first time :) ) then you can sigh gently and do it again the other way :) IIRC, if you have 2 columns it will always assume the x's are first. Worst case, copy the data elsewhere into the order you want.
