RE: Charts

Hi David,

I am sorry but to be honest, I do not have experience working with (r, theta) polar charts.

I don't want to waste your time by giving you wrong information, but I found a couple more links which my be a help.

RE: Charts

Many thanks for the swift response.
For info, the "polar" system in the video linked was not of (r, theta) form.
I suspected that, as a scientific rather than business plot, excel is not geared for this.

Excel tip:

Showing all menu items

If you go into a pull down menu you usally find that you get a selection of items(this is the default) or sometimes everything. If you only get a selectiopn you have to go to the double arrows at the bottom of the menu and click it to get all of the hidden items.
To turn this off so that you always get everything, go to Tools / Customize / Options Tab / "Always show full menus". Make sure there is a tick in the box and you will always have every item.
