I'm trying to show alpha-numeric values as a bar/column chart.

Problem background:
Objective: to combine numeric data on ane axis, and alpha-numeric data on the second axis.

Example: Show the overal gpa on one axis and letter grades in a particular subject (eg. Math) over a number of years (2000 to 2004) on the x-axis.

Thanks.

What is the shortcut key for Format Selection?
Ctrl+1 (the number one) will open the Format dialog for whatever is selected.
Hi,

not sure I understand what you want, however I believe you somehow need to translate your alpha-numeric's in to numbers in order to be able to plot them in a chart.

Some examples maybe?
