Warning message on "number of data points"
I am plotting 24 hour rolling data that gets updated every minute. Data
comes from an Excel Query data base and is graphed in four different charts (separate worksheets). Refresh is enabled when opening file but before the actual charts update a warning message comes on several times, which says: "The maximum number of data points you can use in a data series for a 2-D chart is 32,000. If you want to use more than 32,000 data points, you must create two or more series" I don't really know what all this exactly means and what "two or more series" it is talking about. Can someone please help? Thanks!

You mean as four different series. Format them the same way (same color
line, same style marker). - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "h" wrote in message ...
