If the series are static, their position within the chart can be adjusted. Controls are available in the Chart Data Wizard and the Format Chart window to rearrange the series.
1. Access the series positioning from one of two windows:
Right-click anywhere on the chart and choose Data Wizard from the pop-up menu.
OR
Right-click anywhere on the chart and choose Format then Chart from the pop-up menu and then Series.
2. The static series display in the area below the Static radio button. Highlight the series to move and click the Up arrow button to move it up one position at a time. Click the down arrow button to move it down one position at a time.
3. Click Finish to display the chart.
The following is an example of when you may want to reposition a static series. The 2014 data was selected first, but it isn’t visible in the chart because it is less than the 2013 data. When 2013 data is moved to the first position, both series are visible in the area chart.
