Charts use only the data you give them. There is no magic command to make
them plot something you didn't give them.

To get an offset, use formulas to add the offset to the data.

Your data:

1 1
2 2
3 2
4 3
5 2
6 3
7 1

Insert a column between these. I'll assume the inserted column is column B,
and your X data is in A3:A9. In B1 enter the value you want to offset the
data by, say 5. In B3 enter this formula

=A3+B$1

and drag this down the column. It will now look like this:

1 6 1
2 7 2
3 8 2
4 9 3
5 10 2
6 11 3
7 12 1

Now make the plot with the rightmost two columns.

I am sorry for the basic question but this has been in my head for days
unresolved.
Below is a set of data I have obtained from my experiment at school

(x,y)={(1,1)(2,2)(3,2),(4,3),(5,2)(6,3)(7,1)}

I am using excel to draw a straight lined graph with those points but I am
wondering is there any command to be input from the above "f"'s text box
to redraw the graph when I would like to move it parallel to the x axis 5
units

In the above co-ordinates I used only a monotonic increasing x value of 1
unit. In a more complex case, I need use increasingly different values.

Any help is appreciated.
