    Graph with 3 different time periods?

    Hello,

    I need to plot a graph of CO2 sequestered by carbon sinks (ppmv) over time, but want to show the data in three separate time periods:
    1960-1975
    1975-1990
    1990-2011

    I want it on the same graph, but with three different colors and 3 different legend titles. Please help!
    The data looks like this:

    Year ppmv
    1960
    1961 1.16
    1962 1.48
    1963 1.63
    1964 1.57
    1965 1.58
    1966 0.95
    1967 1.61
    1968 1.58
    1969 1.11
    1970 1.44
    1971 1.85
    1972 1.64
    1973 0.80
    1974 2.06
    1975 1.77
    1976 1.85
    1977 1.38
    1978 1.34
    1979 1.75
    1980 1.14
    1981 1.65
    1982 1.85
    1983 1.39
    1984 1.74
    1985 1.90
    1986 1.94
    1987 1.72
    1988 1.38
    1989 2.11
    1990 2.33
    1991 2.43
    1992 2.64
    1993 2.86
    1994 2.13
    1995 1.81
    1996 2.06
    1997 2.64
    1998 1.07
    1999 1.95
    2000 2.53
    2001 2.42
    2002 1.78
    2003 1.82
    2004 2.58
    2005 2.31
    2006 2.63
    2007 2.80
    2008 2.74
    2009 3.13
    2010 2.79
    2011 3.30

    Any direction would be appreciated!

    Do you know how to add a trendline so that it only displays the trendline over that period?
    I wanted to add 3 trendlines but not have them overlap...

    you would need yo use xy-scatter chart. And adjust the ranges used as the data source for each series
