Points on Line Chart
Currently I'm having difficulties with points on a line chart. When I
double-click to select a single point on the chart, Excel thinks I'm selecting the preceeding point. For example, when I hover over a data point, the smart tip displays data for the point to the left of what I am hovering over... Has anyone seen this before? I deleted the chart and built it from scratch, no success. I deleted the particular series then added it back in, no success. Restarting Excel didn't help either. Funny thing is, I have four separate lines in this particular chart and only one of them behave this way. In my workbook I have around 30 charts and after testing all of them, I have six separate lines responding this way. I appreciate any help or feedback you have to offer! DC |

Points on Line Chart
Douglas Carr -
Generally, the first click selects the entire data series, and after a pause, the second click selects a single point. It may appear that more than one point is selected, but the format options will apply only to the selected point. (I don't ever double-click; I usually click to select and then right-click or use a menu option.) Another way to select a point is to use the left and right arrow keys to cycle through the detailed objects on a chart. The up and down arrow keys cycle through only the larger chart objects. - Mike http://www.MikeMiddleton.com "Douglas Carr" wrote in message ...
