Excel/Excel Chart

Question
I work with chart on excel and I can't figure out how to convert a horizontal chart (with X = depth, Y = % value) to a vertical chart (x = %, y = depth)without taking it to an image processing program and rotating it. When I rotate, in another program the axis labels don't change orientation. I want to know if there is a way to convert an excel profile to a vertical profile within the program itself.
Thanks in advance for your answer!


Answer
Are you talking about changing a bar chart to a column chart? You may alco have to change which are the series and which are the categories. It'd be easier if you could send me a sample - bobumlas@yahoo.com use subject of "AllExpertsQ" and repeat the issue.
