By the way, if I do this, which makes the chart look much clearer, how do I specify that the range no longer goes from say $A$1:$N$29 but the range is A1-to-A29, C1-to-C28, E1-to-E29 and so on? The problem is that my chart legend now includes those cells that contain the means of transport.


In this case just select the cells that should be in the chart (using cltr-left-mousekey) including the title cells before you call "Insert/ Chart". The Range field in the first page of the "Autoformat chart"-AutoPilot will show something like $Sheet1.$A$3:$B$5;$Sheet1.$D$3:$D$6;... than.

Kind regards,

I would insert a new column after each week column and use the new
columns to hold the means of transportation.  For example:

         Week1            Week2
 Mon        4    Car     6      Bicycle
 Tue        2    Train   4     Car
 Wed        5    Plane   3     Car
 Thursday    2    Bus     2     On foot
 Friday        Car     5      Rickshaw

Subject: [discuss] non-numeric data in calc chart....


Hi everyone. I have a bar chart to plots distances travelled each day over a set week, for example

        Week1    Week2    Week3    Week4...
Mon 4 6 Tue 2 4
Wed        5    3
Thursday    2    2
Friday        5    6

What I would like to do is to somehow insert in each cell the means of transport, car, plane, bicycle etc. If there any way I can do this, it seems that whenever I put in any non-numeric value Cacl treats the cell as empty? Thanks in advance.

Rory.
