    I need a chart to show 5 sets of data

    I have no idea if this is possible, I've tried so many different things and nothing is working.

    I'm comparing rank and approval information from 4 different websites, for each site I need to track several categories and two of the sites offer a second/different set or information in addition to the ranking. I also need to track monthly progress and competitors information.
    Ranking is rated from 0.0 to 5.0 in increments of .1 and the additional categories (approval ratings) from Indeed and Glassdoor is rated from 1% to 100%.

    Pulling information ranking and approval ratings from:
    Indeed (which also provides % of apprvals in 1 category)
    Glassdoor (which also provides % of approvals in 3 categories)
    CarrerBliss
    FaceBook

    Thank you in advance for your help.

    Re: I need a chart to show 5 sets of data

    Before you can even think about analysis, the data need to be put in order. In Excel, it is usually better to "go deep" and to "go wide." The data will have to be "normalized' - that is, in this case, be converted to a format:

    Date|Metric|Column A|Value - in any order, actually

    Date would be gotten from Row 1
    Metric would be gotten from Row 2
    Column A (whatever this is) would be gotten from Column A
    Value would be gotten from the various cells

    This would result in one record per cell (700+ records).

    However, once in a normalized format you can "slice and dice" the results with pivot tables into almost any format you can imagine.

    It will take VBA to translate the data properly. Maybe someone will jump in before me. Otherwise, I'll put this on the shelf for the "between the holidays" slowdown.

    You would probably have to have a "translation" helper column to translate 0.0 to 5.0 into percents. I would also put in another helper column to sort metrics into companies. It might help with analysis later on.
    One spreadsheet to rule them all. One spreadsheet to find them. One spreadsheet to bring them all and at corporate, bind them.

    A picture is worth a thousand words, but a sample spreadsheet is more likely to be worked on.

    Thank you dflak, I appreciate the information. I apologize for the delay in response, I've been traveling for work and haven't had much time to look here.
    This project has changed drastically, I will not be using the same data anymore. We are doing something else.

    Good luck to you. Regardless of what the new requirement is, keep in mind designing the data in a "normalized" format.
