Hi,

I have data from a Communication plan which I want to show graphically, to
show when each stakeholder category begins its engagement.

I want to plot data with a time series (mmm-yy) on the x-axis, then a
range
of stakeholders (text) on the y-axis, with a point on the chart showing
when
each stakeholder starts its Comms.

I'm having some trouble getting any charts in Excel to show data in this
way. I can do it flipped round - with time on the y- and categories on the
x-axis - but I specifically want the time series on the X-axis.

Any advice would be great. Unfortunately I can't send any sample data.

Thanks,
Roger
