    Creating a letter graph

    Hey guys,

    I need to create a graph with the data I have attached on the graph. Basically what I am looking for is how the grade is changing from year to year for each category. I am also showing a sample of how I want this to look. Also, what I want to include is to be able to pick different years to display in the graph for example, show how the grade has improved from 2015-2019, or 2009-2012 etc. Is this doable? I have tried a lot of cases and I couldn’t really come up with something that would work. Would appreciate your help!

    Re: Creating a letter graph

    I don't see any way to do this without somehow assigning appropriate numbers to the letters (using a helper range with a lookup formula), using those values to construct a bar chart/dot plot (or equivalent), and finally using a dummy series/axis to add the text/letter labels along the horizontal axis.

    The techniques are explained in these tutorials:

    vertical category axis: https://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts...egoryAxis.html
    dot plot: https://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/DotPlot.html

    At this point, I will assume you can piece together what you need from those tutorials. Let us know where you get stuck.

    ETA: I note that your profile says you are still using Excel 2010. It may be important for a question like this for us to know if you are still using 2010 or if you have upgraded to a newer version.
