series order problem (2002 SP3)

Topic

New Reply

Hi,
I would like to change the series order for my data. I found the following advise in this forum
“Select any series on the chart and dbl-click it.
then select the ‘series order” tab
Select the series to move
press to move them to the bottom of the table’

However, I can’t seem to get it to work. I have graphs of various years data,
I want to drop 2003-04 data off and add 2007-08. I just switched the line numbers of the data source, but now 2007-08 appears before 2004-05.
Everytime I doubleclick on the data series, the SourceData window closes. I can’t seem to get a series order tabe to appear.

Can anyone suggest what I am doing wrong?

Thanks

You’re supposed to double-click a series in the chart itself, not in the Source Data dialog.
Instead of double-clicking, you can also click on a data series (in the chart), then select Format | Selected Data Series…
The Format Data Series dialog has a tab “Series Order”.
