You can also change the range of the categories. You can first select the data range on the Data Range page and then remove unnecessary data series or add data series from other cells here. If there seem to be too many options on this page, just define the data range on the Chart Wizard - Data Range page and skip this page.

This dialog is only available for charts based on a Calc or Writer table. Organizing data series In the Data Series list box you see a list of all data series in the current chart. To organize the data series, select an entry in the list. Click Add to add another data series below the selected entry. The new data series has the same type as the selected entry. Click Remove to remove the selected entry from the Data Series list. Use the Up and Down arrow buttons to move the selected entry in the list up or down.

In the Data Ranges list box you see the role names and cell ranges of the data series components. Click an entry, then edit the contents in the text box below. The label next to the text box states the currently selected role. Enter the range or click Select data range to minimize the dialog and select the range with the mouse.
