OK, sorry to bother you again, I guess I am just not seeing how to do this. I have moved my file around so that I have the following columns: Date Time Thermistor# X Y Temp I can get the program to import the spreadsheet, but I have not been able to figure out how to get it to plot a simple 2-D visualization. I assume I need to use an include, but am not sure. Could you walk me though the objects, starting with the "import Spreadsheet"? Thanks, Fred
