Hi,

I have a simple two column spreadsheet.

Column A contains names, and B counts of the names.

How can I sprinkle column A's names along the X axis of my chart (instead of getting 1,2,3 etc)?

I've read all the documentation I can find on this but I'm stuck!

My efforts so far... 

use Win32::OLE

etc

$axisrange="a1:a$i";    # names
$range = "b1:b$i";        # counts of names
print "range $range\n";

$Sheet->Range("$range")->Select;
my $Chart = $Book->Charts->Add;
$Chart->{ChartType} = -4100;
$Chart = $Excel->ActiveChart;
$SeriesCol = $Chart->SeriesCollection->Add;
$SeriesCol->{XValues} = $Sheet->Range("$axisrange");
$Chart = $Excel->ActiveChart;

etc

Can anyone offer a simple example or let me know what I'm doing wrong?

Thanks,

David
