Data Layout format

Input

int

0
 Specify which way to set the X and Y values.

Option list:

  • yacross:Y across columns{0}
    Use a row as Y-values and a column as X-values.
  • xacross:X across columns{1}
    Use a row as X-values and a column as Y-values.
Y/X Values in rowpos

Input

int

<auto>
 Specify the row for Y(or X)-values. Whether Y or X-values are specified is determined by the value of format.

Note that Y(or X)-values in the row should be in descending or ascending order.

Option list:

  • none:None{0}
    Use column number in the selected range of cells from a worksheet as Y(or X)-values, which starts from 1.
  • selrow1:1st row in selection{1}
    Use column number in the selected range of cells from a worksheet as Y(or X)-values, which starts from 1.
  • label:Column label{2}
    Use the column labels in the worksheet as the Y(or X)-values. Column Label row is specified in label. Note that if only a range of a worksheet is specified in irng, only the corresponding part of the Column Label row in the worksheet is used as Y(or X)-values.
  • custom:Custom{3}
    Specify a row in the worksheet.
Y/X Range rowrng

Input

Range

<unassigned>
 Specify a row for Y(or X)-values. rowrng should be specified only when rowpos is set to Custom.

Note that rowrng should be in the same worksheet of irng.

Column Label label

Input

string

<unassigned>
 Specify a string for Column Label whose row is used as Y(or X)-values. label should be specified only when rowpos is set to Column label. It needs to use a single character to specify the column label row in script. Please refer to Column Label Row Characters for the single character of each column label row.

    Use the first column in the worksheet as X(or Y) values.
  • xcol:X column to left of selection{3}
    Use the nearest X column to the left of the range of irng as X(or Y)-values. It can be specified only when there is at least one X column on the left side of the range of irng.
  • custom:Custom{4}
    Specify a column in the worksheet.
X/Y Range colrng
