I want to create a scatter chart from the table below with the #Reviews column (D) on the X axis and the Conf Int column (G) on the Y axis.

What I have done is to hide all the intervening columns (E & F), select the two now adjacent columns (D & G), and insert a scartter chart.

Perfect. That is until I unhide the hidden columns. When I do, the chart goes berzerk. It appears to now include all of the intervening columns.

What am I doing wrong and, more importantly, how do I do it right?

Thanks

Here's that table

Difference between two dates
Secret function! Use =DATEDIF(A2,B2,"Y")&" years"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"YM")&" months"&=DATEDIF(A2,B2,"MD")&" days"
Personally I like to create a blank chart then add the series using the Select Data option (right-click the chart)

I tried that several times, but never got it to work. I checked about a dozen web pages, but none of them take the data from a table table.

Any clues to the secret to get a scatter chart from this table with the #Reviews column on the X-axis and the Conf Int column on the Y-axis?

You should be able to just select the Reviews column then ctrl+click to select the Conf Int column, then insert a scatter chart.
