    Having trouble with line graphs displaing a single continuous data line.

    As the title states, I'm having trouble with excel not putting data into the line graph the way I want it to. Ssh0GAJ.png

    Here's a screenshot of my issue. My prof didn't give detailed instructions on how to format the data so I'm not sure what to do to get it into a singular line graph instead of one "line" for each year.

    Cheers!

    Re: Having trouble with line graphs displaing a single continuous data line.

    So you want time line graph, with one continuous line going from Jan 2008 to Jan 2018?

    Then just reorganize your data to flat table structre (i.e. date column and value column) and chart. Instead of having it in cross-tab structure.

    Is there a way to automatically do this or will I have to do it manually?

    Nevermind, found out how to get the data from the site in the format I needed it in.

    Thanks for helping and have a good day
