Maybe this is a feature and not a bug --
When I append data to an existing DPlot from Excel, if the appended data is in scientific format (0.00E+00) the format of the numbers on the axes of the existing DPlot are changed to scientific notation.

I find this annoying, as if I wanted axis scientific notation on the existing plot I would have set that before appending data.

Thanks for listening, --len

Hello David --

Pardon this reporting, but my query might have been missed during your recent absence:

My possible bug report is posted to the DPlot forum:

I got and responded to your earlier e-mail. But that's OK.

I'd call that a feature rather than a bug. I'd think you'd want the updated plot to reflect the number format of the data you just appended. (I'm obviously wrong about you, but I think that's what most people would want.) I'll think about adding a switch to the Add-In to preserve formatting... though really this is getting into the weeds and away from the simplicity of the Add-In and I'm not sure I like that.

Thanks David.

I accept "feature" - and we agree that I am indeed different from the pack :)

Did you email your response to Len@Schwer.net as I never received a email from you ?

Off topic - I was also hoping for an email response regarding CAB 1.1.0.1 sent on 29 November to you personal email address.

I've no idea where the mail was sent - too many possibilities with multiple computers.

We won't discuss CAB here, please. Send me an e-mail to my other home.
