    Line graph with two lines that start at different x values

    Trying to chart (line graph) two data series that start at different points on the x axis.
    Chart tries to start both data series at the far left x value.
    If I expand the range of the data series with the later x starting point, it charts a zero value over the expanded range.
    Would attach chart but don't know how.
    Thanks to anyone who can help.

    To attach a sample spreadsheet, click on "go advanced" at the bottom of thread, then manage attachments.

    My first thought is that you might want a scatter plot rather than a line plot -- something similar to what this user wanted: http://www.excelforum.com/excel-char...ual-dates.html

    Thank you very much. I will look into the Scatter Graph.
