Charting possibility
Hi,
Is there a way to chart a series of data along with markers for specific events.. something similar to what http://finance.google.com have. Essentially how can this data be charted in the most informative way using excel? Month Value Event Jan 80 Feb 75 Mar 25 Pilot study implemented Apr 30 May 56 Next version released June 67 July 82 Thanks, Debraj |

The example I saw used a history of oil prices from 1770 to the present day. Basically, you need to create a point for the event labels, and a line length between the event label and the value point: Month Value Eventpoint Dropline Event Jan 80 Feb 75 Mar 25 110 85 Pilot study implemented Apr 30 May 56 110 54 Next version released June 67 July 82 Make a second line range for "eventpoint". Give it error bars of length "dropline". Then use one of the available Excel add-ins to assign those points a data label equal to "Event". Then make the points invisible, because all you want to show is the Event and the connecting line. -- Del Cotter NB Personal replies to this post will send email to , which goes to a spam folder-- please send your email to del3 instead. |

Update: the example I was looking for is from Kelly O'Day's web site: http://processtrends.com/pg_charts_t...ith_events.htm On Wed, 6 Sep 2006, in microsoft.public.excel.charting, I said: I can't find it now, but somewhere out there is a good guide to creating these things.
