Hello, I've been working with (x,y) data which is typically ordered in groups, but the groups are unordered (e.g. points 50->100 then points 151->101 then points 49->1). I add the appropriate index (x-value) and then re-order the data based on that index. The index is a distance (in metres) and the points are about 1 metre apart (but not exactly 1 m). There are typically 3 or 4 series of data on the graph.
Before I re-order the data, I graph the data with an XY-scatter chart, which normally works fine. After I re-order the data based on the index, my chart magically becomes a line chart instead of the xy scatter chart. When I check the chart type (right-click on the series -> "Chart type") it reports that it is still an xy scatter chart. I tried changing to a line chart and changing back, but this doesn't help. I also tried checking/setting the chart type to xy scatter using a macro, but that also didn't work. Sometimes reverting to a less ordered state of data (cutting-pasting chunks of data around) will fix it, but not always. Any ideas what I'm doing wrong/is happening here? I appreciate any help.
