This video shows how to take data from Excel and load it into Tecplot. One reason to do this is to generate more professional looking plots. Remember that equations won't load into Tecplot, and that it must be saved as a 97-2003 file.

![Explained: Bring Data To Front In Chart [Excel]](https://i.ytimg.com/vi/9eVMuPIJh0k/mqdefault.jpg "Explained: Bring Data To Front In Chart [Excel]
This video explains how to bring line data in front of scatter data in an Excel plot. Plots with only scatter data can be brought to the front by moving them up or down in the Select Data Source window. However, its not as easy for mixed data.
Update 11/12/15 - Thanks to comments from Eric Almquist and Robert Patrick
1) I was not careful enough with resetting my secondary axis, and the vertical scale for the primary and secondary axes are actually different (exactly what I was warning you about, ironically).
2) An easier way to hide the secondary axis is to either simply click on the axis and delete it (Robert Patrick), or to click on the + sign (Chart Elements) at the top right of the plot, click on the right-arrow next to axes, and uncheck Secondary Vertical (Eric Almquist).")
