Default How do i show the gap between two lines of a chart

Very simple question. I have a two line graph that I made in Excel. I want
to shade just the area between the two lines wherever they diverge. Does
anyone know how to do that?

Hi,

The trick is to use area charts to provide the shading. This requires
adding additional series. See this example.

Cool trick. Works well with straight line series. Is there a more elegant
solution for non-linear series?
