Creating Scatter Graph Pivot Chart without autocal on (x,y) values

Hello,

I'm involved in a performance testing project and I'm trying to use the
pivot charts in access to quickly present results for me. I have a query
which returns my data in the format shown below:
label, timestamp, time
Action1, 2008-07-05 08:30:10.737, 13680
Action1, 2008-07-05 08:30:25.027, 1088
Action2, 2008-07-05 08:30:26.397, 935
Action2, 2008-07-05 08:30:27.603, 813

What I want to do is plot a scatterchart with the x axis as the timestamp,
the y axis as the time and the two actions as the series.

My best efforts can only get can the setup with the x and y axis as "Sum of"
Auto calc functions, rather than just the native data...as per below:

chart type - scatter chart
x-axis data - sum of timestamp
Y-axis data - sum of time
category fields - timestamp (all selected)
series fields - label (all selected)

But this plots the values as:

Action1, 09/01/2117, 27360
Action1, 09/01/2117, 2176
Action2, 09/01/2117, 1870
Action2, 09/01/2117, 1626

Surely there is a simple way to plot actual values rather than having to use
an autocalc funciton be default and hence I assume the sum function doubling
my data???

Any help appreciated/advice appreciated.
 
Just been looking at the data again and now the plotting is accurate as per
the data. Must have been pilot error!
 
How did you get it to work, I'm having the same problem.

I have three fields: Students, Major, Test results. I would like to plot
test scores versus majors, but it keeps doing auto sums and I'm not getting
the actual values.

Any ideas?

Thanks
