Creating a simple chart in excel -- why is it so hard?

Roger895 Everything having to do with charts in Excel is now horribly fubarred. Everything that used to happen automatically (and properly imo) now has its own setting and all those settings are hidden in a dozen places scattered around the place. F'rinstance to add a title to a chart axis one now has to know to click on the little plus sign that appears when you select the chart; exactly which axis labels appear is controlled by another setting that pops up in a sidebar and seems to be set to automatically exclude the last label in a series; and there seems to be no way to specify a range of values for an axis. This is all for one element of what should be, as you state, a simple 2D line chart. What it takes to do anything more complex I shudder to think.
