Does it work with or without Sheet1 address?

When I said "...does not seem to have anything that matches your description", I meant I don't see anything either in the manual nor in meandering through the gnumeric screen(s) anywhere one would enter both abscissa and ordinate at the same time.
What software are you using?

Is a spreadsheet even suitable for my plotting task?
I wish to plot only 5% to 10% of my available data.
I.E. I want a "magnifying glass" over a small region.


A post on the gnumeric-list mailing list ([email protected]) got me pointed in the right direction. Basically manual Section 10.4. Configuring Graph Element Properties needs a rewrite. Also that manual needs an index.
Thanks

Warning typo - both columns were intended to be on the same Sheet1

I only see typos after sending them - proving Murphy's principle dayly

<chuckle> I had wondered about that ;/

More serious problem - the manual at

does not seem to have anything that matches your description.

What software are you using?

Select the first Data column then select your other data column while
holding Ctrl key.

Alternatively, you could describe the selection as:
=Sheet1!$A$1:$A$17,Sheet2!$C$1:$C$17
in data sources for your graph.

I've not used a spreadsheet in THIS *CENTURY*.
I have forgotten much.


Rich Shepard's answer of 2/22 allowed me to select appropriate data for
a calculation. A simple plot demonstrated I didn't know as much about
my
data as a thought I did. That suggested a different calculation. I wish
to plot that 2nd calculated series.

Column A has values for x-axis on all potential plots.
Column B has values for the first calculation
Column C has values for the 2nd calculation.

Plotting "B" vs "A" was no problem as they were adjacent columns.
Now I want to plot a portion of "C" vs "A".

I.E.
my original plot used data from $B$1:$B$285 vs $A$1:$A$285
my new plot should be of $C$30:$C$60 vs $A$30:$A$60

HOW?

Should be in manual.
*HOWEVER*
