JMP 8 Help: Missing Data Point (Resolved)

Question

Hello,

I am a student who recently started using JMP 8 to create data tables and graphs.  I need to make a Fit Y by X graph for a data table, but one of the points refuses to show up on the graph.  I have tried adjusting the X-axis and Y-axis scales and redoing the entire thing over again, but the point--which would be (655, 0.074)--does not appear, even though it is entered into my data table.  When I create a line of fit for the points, the line stops at the point before the missing one (595, 0.228) and does not extend any further.  Does anyone know a way I might get the point to appear?

Also: When the graph is first generated, the X-axis scales only to 600 (so obviously you cannot see any points beyond 600, including one at 655). I have to manually rescale the X-axis to, oh..at least 700..but the point at 655 still does not show.  The point at 655 is the last of 6 points.  Could this be why it's not appearing?

I am not used to using JMP 8, and the program and I are not getting along well yet! Any help will be truly appreciated.

I don't believe that you intended to add your data table to this discussion question.  This is a very old question.  Your more recent question is:

Thanks for your reply! Here is the data file that I was using. I made sure to include all the rows/columns when generating the graph. @mpb

Ah!  It's seems to be working now; I have my point! When I closed down JMP and the data table and then opened them up again, the row that contained the missing data point had the X (655) in the first column, but no Y in the second column.  I guess somehow it didn't register that I typed that last entry in...or something...but I typed it again, and this time it worked.

Still, thanks for your suggestion.
