Fwd: Re: [libreoffice-users] Calc - bar chart - does not list order properly for cell values
Sorry Been sick Just picked up over 400 emails since last online. The reverse order solution works. I do not know why I need to check the reverse order option, but it is what works. .

The scale can be adjusted to be logarithmic or in reverse order. Just double-click the chart and then the y-axis. The order of the corresponding cell vector does not matter as long as the cell values are numeric. Correction: In a vertical bar chart the vertical axis is the x-axis. It can be set to either one of Automatic (number or text), Date (number with special intervals) or Text. Text scales are shown in the order of appearance, numeric scales are sorted ascendingly or descendingly. If you have text data, there is no choice other than Text.

Actually If you want to have the exact amount listed next to the bar of the column or bar chart, the way I have it set up was the only one that worked Last year. If I have to change that, I would place it on a different printed page. BUT if I want it show together, it needs to be a Bar graph.
