    Cannot see difference in chart lines due to scale

    Hi

    I have a little problem with graphs of scale:

    Date:

    A 110512 120513 130514


    B 110507 120508 130509


    C 110501 120502 130503

    I am building a three lines and then I can't see a difference on the graph.

    In excel 2010 I am using a helping scale(second) and partly is ok I can seen a difference between an A and C but B is overlapping.

    If somebody have some idea solved it = thx

    Re: Little problem with a graphs

    The data you show in your post is at odds with the data in your workbook (where all the three ranges have the same values and therefore will overlap). Which is correct?

    Re: Little problem with a graphs

    They are identical series so normally they would be overlapping. You can switch to a 3 dimensional line graph and play with the 3d rotation. Maybe show both graphs, 2D and 3D. Or you can play with the line widths making the line in the back the widest, then the middle series, then the top series (the last series). They need to be pretty wide for the average viewer to see the differences. A third option is playing with the marker shapes and sizes to find 3 that can be seen even though overlapping.

    Re: Little problem with a graphs

    Correct. I am re-edit file, Is it possible to show a small differences inside so big changes values in the time? Dimension scale is good way? How playing with the marker shapes and sizes? Maybe some attachment with solved?(also available is Excel 2010) Thx.
