    I would use a scatter chart rather than a line chart: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...478.aspx?CTT=1 That way, you can have two separate series and each series can have its own "x values".

    It needs to be a Line chart!

    I do not want separate x-axis. That would still ruin the graph.

    Thanks for the reply though!

    Then I must not be understanding at all what you are trying to do with this graph. Can you describe it in more detail? Maybe even sketch it out by hand?

    Okay, I will try. I have daily observations in one data set. I have pasted it into the Excel sheet.
    I want the yearly data observation from the other data set in that same graph.
    The yearly data set have date 1. Of January Year (no other dates)
    I want a graph where the dates match in BOTH data sets in a single graph.

    Re: Making a single graph with two data sets that have individual dates.

    That is just the autoscale algorithm determining min/max values. You can change that by fixing the min/max scale values.

    Yep, you are right again. It is just weird that the autoscale works so bad !

    Thank you for the reply Andy.
