I have two colums and about a hundred lines. I need to make a scatter plot out of it, with the left column being the values on the X-axis, and the right column values on the Y axis. Excel chooses the other way around and doesn't seem to offer a choice, though I've looked through every part of the interface (ribbon, drop-down menus and dialogs).
Is there a way I can invert the X and Y axis without swapping the columns?

Excel will use the first column of values as the x value, plotted along the horizontal axis, and subsequent columns as the y values.
Use the Select data dialog, Chart Tools > Design > Data > Select Data.
