Description ballelarsen 2001-12-02 20:36:22 UTC 
I can't find a way to use any but the leftmost column in a chart as X-aksis.
This means, that one has to move an X-aksis left of all Y-aksis dataseries.
In imported csv-files it is cumbersome that one has to have the X-aksis as the 
first column. Further since Excel handles the free selection of an X-aksis, 
conversion of such spreadsheets are faulty.
When using the "Autoformat chart" changing the selected order of columns does 
not change which column is the X-aksis. One could have hoped that the first 
column specified would be the X-aksis. But regardless of the order columns are 
specified, the chart generated will have the column most left as X-aksis.

Implementing the ability to assign an X-aksis for each dataseries in a chart 
will overcome this problem. This will probably also solve issue number 2385.

I have rated this as P2 because I have a lot of Excel sheets with X-aksis other 
than first column. With an embedded chart, some of them also fails to convert 
or at best the chart is faulty.

Already on the wish list, see

Like Oliver wrote this feature is alredy on the chart wish list. Will
be a decision will be made later.

Is it worth using a vote on a "RESOLVED" issue? If nothing else the help and
intial chart insert dialog should explain the restriction in functionality.

I thought that it was going to be put on the wish list - so I thought that a
vote would still help.

Someone on the users list is really asking for this - I have the developer build
and I don't see it yet. Do you know what the status is? Is there another bug for
this feature?

Sorry, I followed your link from the users list, but thought I would ask whether
it was worth using my vote

It wasn't a comment on yours

Having dataseries with sperate X,Y values plotted, is the single most useful
feature of chart !! it means you can compare two X,Y datasets. This is very
important.
I don't understand why this hasn't been implemented yet ! (1.1.4)

Comment 13 bjoern.milcke 2006-03-06 13:19:35 UTC 
Although this issue is older than issue 3997, the later one is the better known
issue with the same topic (and over 50 votes), so I set this one to duplicate to
Issue 3997.
