Series which reselects the deselected series and displays the properties of the selected series of all the charts in Advanced tab (See the two images just below).
Once some of the chart series are selected/displayed in All '...' Series, they are remembered there until the charts are cleaned by doing Clear Series. Because of this feature, you can reverse the changes done to the series of All '...' Series sometime later by re-selecting All '...' Series.

For example, if you click on the center of the chart area, axes area or chart name tab etc, the Advanced tab may no longer display what you selected over the View > Advanced >. |
