Charts - displaying both date ranges and exact date
I would like to create a bar/line chart with two axis. The X axis would represent date - I want the bar section of this graph to represent quarters (i.e. a date range) but the line to represent a specific date. Is this possible? If so how can i do this?
Thanks!

RE: Charts - displaying both date ranges and exact date
Hi Heather,
Thanks for your question.
It's tough to make a 2axis bar/line with dates, you need to customize the chart.
1) Data Table must contain minimum of 3 columns:
- Labels
- Quarters (dates type)
- Dates (dates type)
2) Create a bar chart with the table
3) Select the series of Dates in the bar chart, right click for Source Data, format them into Secondary Axis
4) Finally, right click the series of Dates again, change the chart type to Line.
See if that works.

Excel tip:Quickly insert a functionIn Excel 97 and 2000 it was known as the Paste Function dialog box, these days it's known as the Insert Function dialog box. Regardless, one has to choose Insert|Function. or the fx button to open it up. There is, however, a non-mousey way to get hold of the Insert Function dialog box: press Shift+F3 in a blank cell to open the Insert Function dialog. |
