Default Graphing 20 months of data into 2 lines

Hi Forest,

First up Apr 2006 to Dec2007 is 20 months not 30.

Secondly you say,
I want to use my current data without manipulating the data into 1 column
for Apr06 to Mar 07 and so on. Is this possible?


Why? What is wrong with manipulating your raw data into something
usable and then plotting your chart from there. It's not hard to create
formulas that assess your raw data the way you want.

Please post more detail of what you have and what you are trying to achieve.

Regards
Martin

I currently have 30 months of data from Apr 2006 to Dec 2007 arranged in
columns B to V.

I want to have a line graph which shows Jan to Dec and compares two years,
that is, last year would be Apr 06 to Mar 07 as 1 line and current year
would
be Apr 07 to Dec 2007. When I add Jan 2008, the line will automatically
add
the new month of data.

for Apr06 to Mar 07 and so on. Is this possible?
