    How to create a good chart to show average movement

    Hello. I have a list of 30 days in a month. Typically the most volume is Mondays and the least volume is Saturdays and Sundays. When I create a chart, it really just highlights the up and down weekday/weekend spike. I'd like to see how the average is moving throughout the month. Is there a way to do this with excel? Spreadsheet attached.

    Add a "trend line"?

    Actually, I figured it out. Can I get it to show numbers? The problem is that the range of values is so large that the trend lines doesn't show much except for that the average # of work orders is decreasing throughout the month.

    Right click the data series on the graph you have (the blue line) and select "add trend line"
