    Line Charts Problem

    Hi there

    I am having problems selecting the data I wish to display in a line graph.

    Basically, using the data below, I would like to display the dates across
    the horizontal axes and values and percentages plotted on the vertical axes.
    With the values for the two sets of data (hats & coats) plotted in the graph.

    The problem Im having is that I cannot see how to select a range of source
    data when the data is not displayed in imeditately adjacent cells. Any ideas?

    w/c Silk
    20/03/2006Hats 81.1%
    Coats 1384
    27/03/2006Hats 79.3%
    Coats 2071
    03/04/2006Hats 94.8%
    Coats 1589
    10/04/2006Hats 89.5%
    Coats 1187
    17/04/2006Hats 71.7%
    Coats 1390
    24/04/2006Hats 86.0%
    Coats 1449
    01/05/2006Hats 89.9%
    Coats 1287

    Thanks

    Hi JaB,

    I think you will have to rearrange your data into three columns. Column
    1 = dates, Column 2 = Hats and Column 3 = Coats.

    The best way to do it would probably be to use autofilter to hide the
    blank cells in the dates column, then copy and paste the dates to
    another part of the sheet or the same place on a different sheet. Then
    use the auto filter to hide the cells with "Coats", then copy and paste
    the Hat values in the column next to the previously pasted date values.
    Then the auto filter to hide the "Hat" cells, then copy and paste the
    Coat values.

    I've had to guess your current data structure, it looks prety messy on
    my screen.
