Until you know what you want to show, it will be difficult to help. I can't
imagine any software being useful until you've completed this step, and in
general, Excel will probably be sufficient. When you decide what you want,
first try to arrange the data in the worksheet such that a chart may in fact
display it appropriately.

I wanted to use bar charts so easiler to analyse the differences between
each
of the columns. Think I tried line graphs but I still can't get it in
order
for all the categories (columns) without changing the other graphs. Would
it
be possible or is it better to use access? Or can u recommend another
software?

What kind of graphs do you want? Could you use a line chart? The values
could be in the same chart, self-sorted because the line with greater
values
appears higher in the chart.

Hi there,

I've got a lot of data that im looking at & was hoping to produce some
graphs so that I can easily analyse them. The only thing is that each
record
has between 8 &15 values. I want to create a graph for each of these
categories but have the graphs in order from highest to lowest. Is
there a
way of doing this without copying the data & sorting it each time or
would
it
be best to use some other software....?

Thanks very much

Min :o)
