    Excel Chart Duplicate Labels on X-Axis

    Afternoon all,

    I know there's gonna be a simple solution to this but I'm struggling to google my way to victory and it's driving me round the deucin bend! I'm trying to produce a chart but it is showing multiple instances of the same label on the x-axis when I obviously only want it to be shown once. Example attached.

    Cheers,

    Snook

    Hi,

    If you want to aggregate all the data for Dept 1 for example, then you require a pivot chart rather than a regular chart, or some sort of summary table using formulas. A pivot chart would be the simplest option as it will only need a few mouse clicks to set up.

    Cheers xlnitwit, I'm surprised at this, I assumed there would be a way to aggregate the data within the chart itself. No probs, a summary table it is (I've yet to be convinced about the merits of using pivot charts over regular ones).

    Regards,
