Stop excel changing chart axes labels when letters are repeated
I use the 1st character of each month as axes labels. When a character is
repeated excel automatically adds a 2 or 3 suffix. Excell may be confused but I'm not. How do I stop it. Formatting the cells as text in excell and setting that attribute for the chart axes hasn't helped. Thank you |

Stop excel changing chart axes labels when letters are repeated
I have never seen this behavior in Excel. Just to be sure, I tested it
before this post. In three cells I entered "J" and in adjacent cells some numbers. Excel did not append numbers to the J's. Then, I plotted the range as a chart. Each of the 3 labels on the x-axis is "J". Do you by any chance have some kind of add-in (or workbook code) that provides enhanced charts or some kind of support for charts? If so, you might want to look at that for possible causes. -- Tushar Mehta http://www.tushar-mehta.com Custom business solutions leveraging a multi-disciplinary approach In Excel 2007 double-click to format may not work; right click and select from the menu "Leslie Haas" wrote: I use the 1st character of each month as axes labels.

"Look in Tools/Options for the "Spelling" tab. Click on a button called
"AutoCorrect Options" in the lower left-hand corner. You will find a set of check boxes which will turn off the auto-fill functions "Leslie Haas" wrote: I use the 1st character of each month as axes labels.
