What am I doing wrong ? :(

Thank you.
 

Excel Facts

Shade all formula cells
To shade all formula cells: Home, Find & Select, Formulas to select all formulas. Then apply a light fill color.
The series for the line Data has to be edited manually. When you created the original chart, the values 1 through 8 were inserted. You have to edit those in the Horizontal Axis section on the right side of the "Select Data Source" dialog. It will let you select the new X series.

My bad. I duplicated the issue. I had to change the X Axis Type to Date to get it to work. I guess the X Axis is being ruled by a Text based structure instead of a number based structure. The numbers 10-80 are just labels to the Line Data. The XY series uses numbers and can interpolate between. You'll have to play with the Units to get it right.

Thank you so much Jeffrey Mahoney Sir :beerchug:
I converted Column A to the Date format and correct chart was generated. Tried with other formats too but only the Date format works ( not sure why ). :beerchug:

( formatted x axis in chart as number to show numbers instead of dates ) :beerchug:

Thank you.
