XY Scatter Chart Data Markers

J

Jane

I have an XY Scatter Chart with 100 entries. The data points plotted fine,
but the graph automatically assigned a different symbol and color to each
data point. To make the chart look cleaner, I wanted to make all of them the
same. I can select and change the data points individually, but it would
take a while. Is there any way to change them all at once?

Thanks,
Jane

You might try using the "by row" or "by column" option on the toolbar (or
Data on the menu, then "series in rows" or "series in columns") and see if
that helps. It will depend on how your data was set up, though.

Alternatively, copy the data into Excel, then copy it and Edit | Paste
Special and choose Transpose to rearrange the data. Then copy it and paste
it back in PPT and see if the data is all one series now.
