Thanks for the response but I'm probably not being clear

I do not have a problem getting the data into excel. I'm trying to
determine how to make a line graph going from jan 1990 to present w/out
having to first reformat the table into a single long column or row.

Thanks / Avi

a 208.1 206.3 200.6 192.6

It would depend some on how the data is stored. Is it a flat
ASCII file (text)? Then simply importing it into Excel and
defining the delimiter as a space should do it. You might want
to place a header for the year in the first place on the first
line to ensure alignment.
