## SYMPTOMS

In Microsoft Excel, when you change the chart type for a group, the scale of the x axis may change as well.

## CAUSE

Choosing a group and changing the Chart Type is different from selecting a single series and then changing the chart type. When you change the chart type for a group, you may change some of the x axis settings for the chart.
This behavior is by design in Microsoft Excel version.

## RESOLUTION

Select the series on chart first, then change the Chart Type using the Chart Type command on the Format menu.
