When I import data into a worksheet, then plot the data the Y column is automatically set as "Categorical". This changes my plot. What is causing this?

Hi Regina
When you make a plot of dataset which is mostly text Origin considers this dataset to be categorical and changes column type accordingly. You may suppress this feature by setting system variable @TH to 100 or even to 101. In the script window type
@th=101
This is threshold of "categoricity". Setting it to higher then 100% will suppress automatic categorical support.
Hope this helps.
Yuri
