Savithri – IE6 is obsolete. You should upgrade if only to reduce the security risk.

To anyone still watching the comments, Cas told me that he had discovered a hidden series that still had the larger category range. He corrected this and the chart was fine.

Thanks John, I have re-entered and checked – the data ranges for the 2 sets of x-axes labels seem to be correct, but the scale of both axes remains set at the larger number of categories, so I have a long tail of blank categories under the bottom scale. How do I tell it to have only the required number of categories for the primary x axis?

You might have to re-enter the X value range for all series. Excel 2003 would remember these even if they weren’t used, but Excel 2007 usually forgets them. It’s rather inconvenient.

Hi John, wonderful stuff, i’m stuck like a few others trying to get Excel 2007 to differentiate between the two x-axes. I’ve added the second X axis, but both X axes still have the original number of categories, so my new labels are still all scrunched up to the left. I can’t see on Excel 2007 a means of specifying a different set of categories for the original X axis. Help!? Best regards, Cas

Jeff -

Could you clarify? I thought that’s what I had done in that comment.

From you comment above on 10/14/09 @9:44 am, how do you make just the total column as bars and keep the three monthly columns as lines??
