I have just added a 30 point series to a chart with existing 4 point data
series. No problem

I am not sure what you mean by "but Excel plots the first point at (1, #)
and the second
point at (2, #)" What do the #s mean here?

Want to send me the file (not to newsgroup)?

I wanted to add that the standard way of using "Paste
Special" on the chart works for a small amount of data
points (maybe 15 x,y pairs?), but fails and creates the
problem below for more points.
What to do? Thanks!

I'm trying to add a new series to a scatter plot in
Excel,
but the new series uses a different set of x-values. I
want to plot it along the same axis as the other series,
but Excel plots the first point at (1, #) and the second
point at (2, #), etc., instead of actually reading in the
x-value and putting it at that place on the plot.

How can I change this so that it plots the point at the
correct/actual x,y values?
