Excel 2007 - Switch vertical and horizontal axis?

[Beach Lover]

I have four columns. "A" is for a date, "B" is a number, "C" is a number,
and "D" is a dollar amount. When I create the chart, I want the date to be
on the left side of the chart but I can only get it to display at the bottom.
I've tried using the Transpose option, but that didn't work. Any
suggestions?

What type of chart? In general, if you put the Y value columns in the
worksheet to the right of the X value columns, Excel arranges the chart the
way you want. You could bring up the chart data dialog and change what
values are used for X and Y values, but it's not as easy in 2007 as in 2003.

It is a stacked line chart. I have tried rearranging the columns and I can't
get it to display the way I need. I'll keep trying, but any suggestions will
be appreciated. Thanks!

What values are stacked? The numbers in B and C? With the date on the
vertical axis? Excel doesn't support a line chart with a vertical category
(i.e., date) axis. Make an XY chart, with two series. The first uses A as Y
and B as X, the second uses A as Y and either C as X or another column that
computes B+C for X to simulate a stacked chart.

Note that stacked lines are confusing; people don't readily see that one
series builds on the previous one. Stacked areas and columns are less
frequently misunderstood.
