    How to plot data with repeating value? Laser Spectrum Analyser Data

    Hello,

    I want to plot data collected from Laser on Spectrum Analyser, I have 2 Sets of data for 6 Different Resolution Bandwidths

    Resolution Bandwidths:-
    0.2nm | 0.5nm | 1nm | 2nm | 5nm | 10nm

    for each Resolution bandwidth i have following two sets of data

    Wavelength
    Output Power

    For a particular bandwidth the wavelength vs output power plot looks like this

    but i need to plot all the data against each resolution bandwidth and show it in a single chart with repeating values in horizontal axis, i drew a rough estimate in Paint as following

    Can any one please guide me how to plot it as shown in the pic above?

    Thnx

    You need to build a panel chart.

    You will probably have to generate chart data based on you original with offset values added in order to get the separate data sets to appear along the x axis.
    The repeated x axis values can be done with a dummy series and linking data labels to cells.

    Post small example data file, rather than images, if you need further help.
    Cheers

    See attached with chart values on single sheet. New values calculated.
    Dummy series for axis labelling.
