Use the worksheet to calculate whatever parameters you want to put on your
graph, then you can plot the graph. The formula you have can be used to
calculate your "distance" parameter between 1st & 2nd row points (though of
course true distance would be the RSS of the Xdiff and Ydiff, not the sum),
and similarly a "distance" between 2nd and 3rd row points. What do you want
to plot against what in your chart?

Hi i am trying to create a graoh between x-axis and y-axis. basically
generating a simple distance formula graph :

x y
3 4
1 6
4 7
distance = (x2-x1) + (y2-y1)

can anyone help me generate this. All the charts in excel are not giving
the
kind of graph i want.....
