    Time-series Chart w/ diff x periods

    I'm trying to figure out a way to display annual data as a bar chart with quarterly stock data overlayed as a line graph. So far, I've only been able to fake the annual data as 4 equal quarterly values in order to have the required granularity in the stock data. And with this, I can't figure out how to close the gap between the bars. (the Gap Width is already at 0%)

    I've attached two examples. The first one is using only annual data. I need the bar chart part of this to look the same as in this example (graphSample.jpg), but the S&P500 data (the line graph) to be quarterly, so 4 times as many values.

    The second example (Book9_edit.xlsx) attempts use quarterly data by using four equal values in the bar chart. (but again, the gap width..)

    Any suggestions? Is this even possible in Excel?




    I first posted this question last week, but got busy and let it die. here's a link to that post:

    problem is - the chart wants to read every month, and 2 out fo 3 months are blank, so it's not an issue of the gap as defined by excel. Convert to text and it works! See attached.

    You either quit or become really good at it. There are no other choices.

    Genius! Thanks! Been working on that one for a while.

    Now for a new post on how to make a high quality print of a chart that uses transparency...
