scatter plots using pivot table data
In older versions of Excel, you could directly create xy
scatter plots using pivot table data. In Excel 2000, the chart wizard says you can't use an xy scatter plot with pivot table data. Why????? Is there any way around this limitation? |

scatter plots using pivot table data
Dan -
Don't tell the pivot table you're making a regular chart. Select a cell away from the PT and start the chart wizard. Select the XY Scatter type you want in step 1. In step 2, use the Series tab to select the ranges for the names, X values, and Y values of each series in your chart. Make sure you don't select one of the PT buttons. I do this all the time, because I use pivot tables a lot, and I hate pivot charts. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ Dan wrote: In older versions of Excel, you could directly create xy scatter plots using pivot table data.
