You use the wrong chart type. You have to select XY chart instead of line chart.
Perfect! That fixed it. However, two things: 1) Given that it's possible to add an x-axis to a line chart, it's not clear to an uninitiated user that x-axes don't belong in line charts. Does anyone else find this UI confusing? 2) Within the tree control for xy-charts, I expected the x-axis field (the field where one enters x-axis data) to be under Graph -> Chart1 -> X-Axis1. Yet it's under Graph -> PlotXY1 -> Series1. Again, doesn't this strike anyone as a counterintuitive UI? I might comment more generally that tree controls are hard for a lot of people to grasp, and that they don't seem to belong here especially well. But that's more debatable.
