Haven't they suffered enough back in 1939?
The polish, I hasten to add, given your ethnic background - The holocaust is nothing I do jokes about.

Listerine mouth wash was originally a floor cleaner. It didn't clean floors very well so they re-branded it mouth wash (inventing halitosis as part of the ad campaign).

And as a cure for gonorrhea, don't forget.
Which is a another very good reason for not using your mates mouthwash ...

And in 1927, Listerine cigarettes. Surely that gave "smoker's breath" new meaning!

It was also marketed as an aftershave (for disinfecting).

You're just being racist. Not all the chemicals are the same, stop being conditioned by your prejudices - there are good chemicals and bad chemicals just as in every category. And don't forget to ask each chemical the pronoun to use with him/her/it/them.

… preferably free, but cheap is good too.
All I want to do is set up an X axis, set up a Y axis, and plot a line-scatter graph. It seems Excel can't do this with non-linear X values on a linear X axis - or I can't coerce it to do so. Either way, I have given up struggling with it, to the point where I am prepared to drop some valuable beer vouchers on the problem.
If anyone has any suggestions, I would be very glad to hear them.

Thanks for that - it looks useful, but I need something that I can import Excel or CSV data into. I have a LOT of data!
|
|
|
|
|
Add that info to your OP.
|
|
|
|

I'd use matplotlib and numpy/pandas in the python world.
numpy is a lower level high performance array structure.
pandas is a higher level data frame structure built on top of numpy
matplotlib is a graphing library that will take data frames and render a huge variety of visualisations.
Use an IDE like spyder and it's all quite easy and interactive.
And all free.

Thanks, but that's a bit like reinventing the wheel. I just have this bunch of data and need to display it in a graph outside the application, as a once-off. I was a bit gobsmacked that Excel couldn't do it. Somewhere there has to be something where you establish the X and Y axes of the graph from the max and min of the data, and then plot all the X,Y points from the dataset. The data collection points on the X axis are non-linear, but I need to display them along a linear X axis.

I use the pirates favorite... R[^]
RStudio is nice IDE envirionment for R that makes it easier to use. You can import and export Excel and csv file easily. and there are plenty of support communities where you can find how-tos and examples.
RStudio – Open source and enterprise-ready professional software for R[^]
[Edit] - And it's open source.
It was broke, so I fixed it.

Thanks, but I really, realy, realy do not want to write one more line of code just to display the data just one time.
|
|

So, what your really, realy, realy looking for is some CODZ PLZ URGNTZZ?
It was broke, so I fixed it.
|

Nah! I don't need no CODZ PLZ URGNTZZ. Don't really like the stuff. I am actually having poached salmon in a lemon sauce tonight.

Is that with real lemons?

Nah! Furniture polish - it's cheaper.

So, how was the salmon?
Anyway I got 'yer Codez. It's like 6 lines of code.
# Install & Load Library
if (!require("readxl")) install.packages("readxl")
library("readxl")
# Choose & Read Excel file, the 2 denotes the desired sheet number.
my_data <- read_excel(file.choose(), 2)
# Extract data from the desired columns. RStudio will provide drop-down with column names.
Ydata <- my_data$Column_With_Ydata
Xdata <- my_data$Column_With_Xdata
# Plot data
plot(Ydata, Xdata)
As with any code you can get as fancy as you want, but for a one time look see...
It was broke, so I fixed it.
