It wasn't your question opening this thread that caught my attention, it was this one:

How do you make the graph after the values are entered?

libreoffice is free. It's a slightly sucky emulation of Microsoft Office. But it works and it will do everything that you probably want Excel to do. And it's free.

I enjoy helping others when I can. It saddens me knowing so many people would rather see others struggle then offer assistance.

Me too! It also saddens me knowing that there are so many people that would rather ask for a fish than learn how to fish for themselves.

But I don't think either of us are being fairly characterised here.

I figured out how to bring up a graph but I can't see where to change the name from "Series1" and "Series2 to "Horsepower" and "Torque".

nvm. I just enter the name as a value at the top of the column.

[scarcasm]That makes complete sense because the name of a column is a value. [/scarcasm]

Brain, how do you choose which values are used for X and Y?

This is what I'm getting.

I think Brain just turned on the choke lever and is yanking the pull start cord on the ban hammer (the ban hammer works a lot like a chainsaw, for those of you who have never been forum mods).

I saw that and it works fine but the vertical is showing the same values as horizontal. Does it depend on which columns you select first?

I'm trying to plot another graph that might be a little different then your walkthrough for the HP/Tq graph.

The two values I'm working with are HP and RPM. I need HP as the vertical and RPM as the horizontal with a single plot line.

EDIT - It looks like simply removing RPM from the Legend Entry fixed it.
