Assuming your test data is in the range A1:D5
E2: =A2
F2: =B2+D2
G2: =C2
Copy the formula down to row 5.
Add labels in F1 and G1 for series.
Create chart based on range E1:G5

Hi again,
Can you tell me a little more information, what formula? Maybe an Example
of
what the input data will look like?
Thanks,
Stephanie

Hi,
You need to do the addition in a separate column using formula. The chart
just plots information it does not perform calculations prior to
plotting.

I have created a line graph in Excel (with my input data on a separate
worksheet). I have 3 columns: Planned, Actual, and New. I am tracking
'requirements' and I only want 2 lines on the graph. I have plotted the
Planned and Actual, however I want the 'New' to be added to the
'Planned'
in
the graph. Maybe my example below will help?
Planned Actual New
A 10 8 0
B 15 12 2
C 20 17 0
D 25 23 2
The above is how my input data looks. What I want the graph to show is
for
'B' the planned point should be at 17 (not a separate line for New) or
for
'D' the Planned point should be at 27.
Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance,
Stephanie
