Hi,

I managed to make myself a graph that shows each month (Jan18, Feb18, Mar18 etc) but can I change it so the months are reversed? ie the latest month is on the left hand side.
I tried to change the order of the data to newest to oldest but it doesn't change on the graph.

Hope that makes sense.

Thank you

Can you sort left to right?
To sort left-to-right, use the Sort dialog box. Click Options. Choose "Sort left to right"
Try this

Click on the Axis in the chart to select it \ right-click \ Format Axis \ (Under Axis Option) check Categories in Reverse Order

Thank you. This almost works in that it reverses the dates as I would like but it also moves the values to the right as well. I don't know the correct terminology so in way of explanation of what I mean: In my original graph the left hand side vertical axis has -£, £0, +£ values and these are what are also moving when I follow yr instructions.

Hopefully I'm making some sense :)

Have forgotten your maths lessons?
- I think you want to move the y-axis back to the left side of the chart

Same place as before - find the setting for "Vertical axis crosses" and set to "At maximum date"
