XL2000: Incorrect Range of Values Displayed on X-Axis of XY (Scatter) or Bubble Chart

When you create a chart in Microsoft Excel 2000, or open a chart that you created in an earlier version of Excel, and hide a row on the worksheet, the scale of values displayed on the x-axis of the chart changes to an incorrect scale.

This problem occurs when the following conditions are true:

• Your chart is one of the following types:
  
  
  • XY (Scatter)
  • Bubble
  
  -and-
  
  
• One or more rows in the range of cells used as the source data for your chart are hidden.
  
  -or-
  
  
• The values used as x-values in your chart are stored in discontiguous areas on your worksheet.

To resolve this problem, obtain Microsoft Office 2000 Service Release 1/1a (SR-1/SR-1a).

To obtain SR-1/SR-1a, click the article number below to view the article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base: To temporarily work around this problem, use the appropriate method for your situation:
