    Connect points in two different series on scatter graph

    Please see attached excel file for example.

    I have a scatter graph with two series plotted on it. I use an x-y labeler to label these points (but I hvaen't done that in the attached file) that I found on this forum.

    Now I would like to draw an arrow from november points to december points to show how monthly data changed. So in the attached file there would be total of 8 arrows. This is only part of data that I have. I have lot more than 8 points for each month and I have lot of these graphs for different categories which is why I am looking for an automatic way to do this every month as I update the data.

    Does anyone know how I can achieve this?

    Thank you very much in advance,
    Jay

    Have a look at the attached.

    Rather than arrow heads I just coloured lines.

    You will need to build the data for each set of connecting series.

    very creative solution. Thank you. Any way to make these lines an arrow as otherwise its impossible to tell which direction did the movement happen.

    To add arrows you will need to use code

    If you have xl2007 you can add arrows to the start/end of lines
