User Guide

Usually, you enter a label in at least the
first row and the first column of the
worksheet. Follow these guidelines:
• To create category labels for the hori-
zontal (x) axis, enter the labels in the
first column (except for scatter graphs,
which do not use categories). (If you
also are entering legends, skip the first
cell of the column.)
• To create legend labels for the vertical
(y) axis, enter the labels in the first row.
(If you also are entering category labels,
skip the first cell of the row.)
• To create labels consisting only of
numbers, enclose the numbers in quota-
tion marks. For example, to use the year
1996 as a label, enter “1996”; to use
quotation marks around a number label,
use two sets of quotation marks—
““1996””. If a label includes both text
and numbers, you do not need to use
quotation marks.
