Default To separate two line in a line chart

Hi all,

I drew the confidence intervals (the vertical black lines) of each
points in this line chart (please see below). However, the intervals
would overlap at some places. In MS-Excel, is there any tip to shift
one of the two lines a bit horizontally? So that I can prevent the
overlapped intervals, especially as in black-and-white chart later.

Thank you!!

Hi,

You would need to create a new set of x values for one of the series by
adding or subtracting a constant.

The chart type would need to be xyscatter in order to allow for
different sets of x values.

But would moving the point not have an impact on how the value was read
by the viewer of the chart?

Cheers
Andy
