    Question what type of chart is this?

    http://www.advisorperspectives.com/d...since-2007.gifSample Chart to Duplicate.pdf

    Can anyone tell me what type of chart this is? I have to duplicate it with data that is currently in a different type of chart....the existing chart has an x axis as a bar chart and a secondary axis as a line chart, and a trend line on the x axis data. I'm unclear how to get that data to look like the attached sample.

    Any help is greatly appreciated.

    Thanks!

    xy-scatter with 2 series. 1 for the dots and 1 for the line.

    shaded area can be done with another series as area or columns

    Thank you Andy Pope! I've attached the same chart as a scatter - looks funny...is this correct? Should the x asis be the scatter line and then the y axis be a scatter with only markers?

    Your x axis data is not a true date, which is why the horizontal axis reads zero to 14.
    Your 2 sets of data are in different units ($ and %), unlike the example picture you posted.
    finally the trend line in the picture is a moving average where as you have a linear one.
