Hi :) It would be more normal to have the date along the x-axis, along the bottom. The amount of money should go up the y-axis. Otherwise, as you point-out, the graph looks weird.
You could try reverse-date order?

June - - - - - May - - - - - - - April - - - - - - - - - - March - - - - - I have manually changed the data ranges starting with the last item and ending with the first, but the column or bar graphs always seem to give me the same visual of last to first on the chart/graph. I do not know what is going on with this. I am dealing with a graph showing month and income is a bar chart, but having the current month on the left and the oldest month on the right just does not work for others. Here is the Data info in the "wizard". Data Range: $'Royalty Checks'.$A$5:$B$31 Data Series: column B: $'Royalty Checks'.$A$5:$A$31 Y-Values $'Royalty Checks'.$A$5:$B$31: $'Royalty Checks'.$B$5:$B$31 When I do a highlighting for bottom to top or top to bottom, the ranges and graph always is the same. When I revers the order of the beginning and end values for the cells, I still get the same order of the graph visual elements. I do remember that last year, when I created a chart like this with 3.3.x [late version] or 3.4.x [early version], it did work file. If I highlighted the top to bottom, it showed the order of the elements matching top to bottom. I placed the chart/graph next to the columns [in column C] so the value of the cell is in alignment with the bar on the chart's graphic. It is used to watch the trend of the income from that person's monthly royalty checks. Since the earlier spreadsheet was lost with a computer crash and the backup disk was damaged, I cannot go back to the old file and just update it. . -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted -- For unsubscribe instructions e-mail to: [email protected] Problems? http://www.libreoffice.org/get-help/mailing-lists/how-to-unsubscribe/ Posting guidelines + more: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Netiquette List archive: http://listarchives.libreoffice.org/global/users/ All messages sent to this list will be publicly archived and cannot be deleted
