    Excel easily creates a chart that would have 3 lines (years) of monthly revenue data. How do I easily make it so that the chart is one continuous month to month line instead of ending up with 3 lines?

    Redesign your data so that the date is in the first column and the amount is in the second column, so that all three years are in the same range.

    Re: combining multiple years of monthly revenue data to create one line chart

    Yes that is what I currently do, but I have multiple spreadsheets I need to present the information in both formats - multiple year after year lines. I was hoping that there would be a simple way for excel to sequence the lines automatically rather than creating two sets of the same data to keep.

    You can use formulas to set up the alternate format of the data so it only has to be entered once.
