Drawing Order of Data Series on Charts

[Eddie McGlone]

Hi all.
We have an Excel 2003 line chart which shows current performance against
this year's target, last year's actuals and last year's target.

Actual is very close to target at this moment in time and goes under the
other lines so it can't be seen. I want to make it the "top" line being drawn
on the chart so that it will obscure tho other lines, not the other way
about. (Similar to "Bring to Front" or "Send to Back" on a page layout
program.

Changing the data series order doesn't seem to make any difference to the
actual drawing order - only to the order of the legend entries.

I hope I'm just being dense here...

Cheers

Ed

Doh! I knew I'd look stupid as soon as I posted.

I was moving the data series I wanted to show over the others to the top of
the list - it needs to go to the bottom of the list.

Think of the list as being "First" to "Last" in the order of drawing on the
screen and it seems a bit more logical.

Cheers

Ed
