I think I've figured this out. Cell B30 in the sample spreadsheet you
pointed me to contains a string, not a number. It just happens to be
on the row where the date changes to 2004. When I reset it to a number
everything looked OK (to me anyway). If xess sees even one string in a
range where everything else is a number, it treats them all as strings
and it produces some sort of scatter plot instead of the numeric graph
you were expecting.
