    How to setup a graph from multiple data sets into a single display

    If there are any Excel experts out there that can provide any help, I would really appreciate it...I've been searching for an answer for a couple of months now, but apparently looking in all the wrong places....

    Anyway, I'm trying to graphically represent a line of profitability by combining the results from two ratios.

    RATIO's.
    Success ration (# successful trades / total trades)
    Win/Loss Ratio (average win size / Average loss Size)

    I've got the data in a table but would like to setup a graph that can clearly illustrate where the best combinations are. I've attached a copy of the worksheet for review...

    Unmerge B2:C2 and make a surface chart.

    Is the lower plot what you had in mind?

    One last question, how can I display the gridlines on the surface map...When I choose Chart Tools, Layout, Gridlines and chose to add them, nothing appears...Any idea how to make them display.

    Excel surface charts have very little flexibility -- I don't think you can. But Andy Pope would know for sure.

    The grid lines are being covered by the fill of the surface chart.

    In the attached I have set the fill colour of one of the bands to none.
    You can see the 2 majoe gridline sets through the gap.

    The gridlines over the surface are controlled by the individual legend entries
