If you switch to a pie chart, the first data point in each series is represented as a wedge.
See “Pie Charts” on page 214.

If you switch to a scatter chart, each point in the chart requires two values. If the chart is
based on an odd number of rows or columns, the last row or column isn’t plotted. See
“Scatter Charts” on page 218.

If you switch to a bar, column, area, or line chart, each series in the new chart
corresponds to a row or column in the Chart Data Editor.
