Wonderful!  That is exactly what I needed.

Oops! When I click on Format, I do not get Object Properties as a choice. What I get are:

Format Selection...
[...]

I have version 3.1.1. for Windows; perhaps you have another. Your "Format Selection..." is in the same place as my "Object Properties..."; was one simply renamed as the other? Does it lead to the option I describe?

I also discover the date column doesn't get put on the bottom of the chart as it does in Excel, and I don't know how to get it there.

In the second step ("Data Range") of the Chart Wizard, tick "First column as label".
