I have a table which I am plotting longly, it looks like this:
#+PLOT: title:"expenses" ind:1 type:2d with:lines
#+PLOT: set:"yrange [0:]" labels:("month" "expenses" "average")
| month | two |three|
|------------+--------+-----|
| November | 500 | 500 |
| December | 500 | 500 |
| January | 600 | 500 |
| February | 400 | 500 |
Thus far it was no problem that the x-axis contains non-numeric data.
Now gnuplot stops with this error message:
gnuplot> plot '/tmp/org-plot18686CtJ' using 1:3:xticlabel(1) with lines title 'H-index'
warning: Skipping data file with no valid points
x range is invalid
When I try to plot the table 'Citas' from this tutorial [1] I get the
same error message.

Okay, I see; for some reason the following statement is not more valid:
,----[ From: http://orgmode.org/worg/org-tutorials/org-plot.php ]
| Org-plot can also produce histograms from 2d data, plot the following
| table. Notice that the column specified as ind contains textual
| non-numeric data, when this is the case org-plot will use the data as
| labels for the x-axis using the gnuplot xticlabels() function.
`----
As far as I see, you have to do it with org-babel now, which works just
as well for me.

Hi Henry,
Thanks for bringing up this bug.
While for any serious plotting I would certainly recommend using
Org-babel over org-plot, org-plot should still function correctly. I've
just pushed up a fix to the bug you described, so your previous table
should work once again.
Thanks -- Eric

Yes, it works fine again.
As the Zen Master T.Deshimaru said (Zenglish he used to call his broken
English): `Bad Become Good'
But for the bug maybe I would not have dealt too much with the
org-babel (which is really great)
Thanks,
henry
