Thanks for the reply Dave, but I have solved this myself through
complete and utter luck. I'm pretty new to all this table stuff, and
the guy who was showing me how to do it here at work (my SENIOR!) told
me to highlight the entire columns and do the chart from that. I did
one myself later that day and only highlighted the cells relevant, and
it worked like a charm!

Cheers
