I need help with a seemingly simple problem:

I have following data:


Sales Profit
A 100 50
B 50 100
C 75 350

How do I set up an Excel column chart where my x-axis has Sales and Profit for Companies A, B, and C and is sorted in ascending order for both Sales and Profit i.e. preserving the same order and color: i.e. in Sales, A is best (and let's say Excel '07 gives it a blue color) but is worst in Profit --I want the chart to show A as the first value in Sales and the last value in Profit with the same color scheme.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Copy formula down without changing references
If you have =SUM(F2:F49) in F50; type Alt+' in F51 to copy =SUM(F2:F49) to F51, leaving the formula in edit mode. Change SUM to COUNT.
