I tried creating a graph in Excel, but the x-axis always sets to the row number automatically. How do I change it?

Usually the x-axis of a bar graph shows a control range, and is plotted on the bottom of the graph. Time is a common x-axis example.
This option is available when you choose to Graph selected data in your spreadsheet. You can read Excel Help for this feature, or follow the guidelines in Google Docs to accomplish this task.
the x-axis
X and Y can be literally anything. It depends on what the graph is designed to show.
Normally, if the graph is scientific, the x axis will be time, and the y will be what you are measuring. however this is not ALWAYS the case, and in all actuality, anything can be on the x and y axis.
