How to Get Continuous Line Plot in Graph Builder for Multiple Variables in X

Hi all, 

I'm struggling with a behaviour in Graph Builder that I don't understand. 

I want to plot a line graph across several variables. When I select my variables and drag them to the "X" field I get this graph.

The issue I'm having is that sometimes one of my variables completely changes the behaviour of this plot. In the previous plot, I included X_1 to X_10 but in the plot below I've included an additional X_11.

I intentionally assumed this was due to the number of variables, that I had passed some limit but I've plotted many more variables before and didn't get this change in behaviour. I suspect the issue is some how due variable X_11 as when I replace any other variable the same thing happens. In the plot below I've replaced X_1 with X_11.

I'd greatly appreciate if any one who's familiar with this behaviour and can advise on how to fix it. 

Kind regards,

Cathal

Graph builder does have this setting which you can access if you hold shift when you click on the red triangle

Re: How to Get Continuous Line Plot in Graph Builder for Multiple Variables in X

Thanks Jarmo! That works perfectly!

Also, learned that holding shift when clicking red-triangle makes more options available :)
