Default How to Select Successive Groups of Individuals for Trendlines

Hi,

I'm new to VBA programming and am stuck on how to select successive groups
of cases. I've got a total of 300 people with test scores taken during 3
time periods (coded 0, 1, 2). To illustrate how the coding looks, here's how
the data appears for just the first three people:

A B C
1 id time test
2 1 0 51.66
3 1 1 52.09
4 1 2 56.72
5 2 0 49.92
6 2 1 60.26
7 2 2 66.33
8 3 0 51.12
9 3 1 52.63
10 3 2 57.74


The idea is to start with the first person (id = 1) and use the time series
(0, 1, 2), and corresponding test scores (51.66, 52.09, 56.72) to create a
chart that plots the 3 scores and adds a trendline. Then move on the the
second person, third person, etc. and use their corresponding time series and
scores to add two more trendlines to the chart. The result would show
trendlines for each of the 300 people on the same chart.

I thought of using IF-THEN or SELECT statements but it seems I'll need to
list all 300 ids, time series, and test scores but it doesn't seem to be an
efficient way of doing things.

Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in the advance.
