    Chart with groups shown as line and not bar

    I dont have an example I can load at the moment need to desensitise the info

    but
    I have a graph as follows

    X-Axis -

    SubjectA
    SubjectB
    SubjectC
    SubjectD

    Then on the Y Axis 0-100%

    I have then created a column graph for each 6 month as the series

    SO you have a Column for April say
    on the X-axis for SubjectA & B & C & D

    works well - but I would like a line chart for just each section of the X-Axis

    so for subjectA - a line instead of the six columns
    same for subject B etc

    any ideas ?

    created an example so instead of the 4 sets of Bar charts - I would like the Bars replaced with a line for those 4 sections - so i can see trend , without creating 4 separate charts

    You need to change your data layout.

    Or you can work through Jon's comphrensive tutorial.

    thanks for the link

    I had a play around and actually the graph looks awful as a line - not quite how i visualised - but thanks for the info
