eta: I tried looking in the version history to restore an older version, but the same problem is present in all the previous versions (even though everything was correct when I was working on the file before today)…

Hello, I am sorry to say this has happened to me again (a few times since my first post) and I really cannot figure out what is causing it (me I guess, somehow?), or how to fix it without re-selecting the correct data column (1 column up in the list) for each and every line/error bar in each composite plot (which is a lot, the way I work!).

Is there a way of recovering the last saved version please of a file please? I just opened a DataGraph File to see that this had happened again, I closed it, but I guess it autosaved because when I reopen it is the last version.

Any help gratefully received! Happy to email file if that helps.

Yes they are still there – but all the columns have shifted, see above!

Replying to myself: I have figured out what has happened; it appears that the data column commands (for x and y in each plot in each graph) have all been shifted by 1 column –  I am not sure how this could have happened (because inserting rows does not do this…?). Is there any way to fix this (i.e. to shift all plots by -1 column), or do i need to go back to each graph and change the x and y column for every plot manually?

Cheers

Thanks for your really detailed and helpful response. I tried the Map column but it produced an empty column, probably because as you said, the exact values were not available. So I interpolated values to exactly the right ages and inserted a “manual” ylist column. Now the line limits are correct. Thanks!

Next I will try your above tip to join points on different graph/axes using connect..

Cheers, Clara

Thanks for the quick reply. I have checked my Y columns and they are set appropriately. I tried making a new graph with the same data but with no split axes, and I still have the same problem. Shall I email you the file so you can see if you can spot the issue?

Re my second question, Thanks for the tip re: Connect. The points I’d like to connect are between two curves that are on different y axes and different x-axes (but plotted one above the other, with x axes of the same length).

Cheers, Clara

Just to clarify my second request, this is the kind of “non-strait” lines I mean! Thanks
