Default separating two years of data on one chart

I have a chart with data from 2006 and 2007 in the same data source. I would
like to keep all this information in one line but need to be able to
differentiate from one year to the other. How do I do this?

One way to do so - try setting your data up like this:

Col A Col B Col C
2006 Jan 17
Feb 11
Mar 11
Apr 17
May 18
Jun 16
Jul 13
Aug 16
Sep 10
Oct 14
Nov 11
Dec 10
2007 Jan 13

Columns A and B make up your X-Axis. This works with Excel 2003 - haven't
tested but assume it works in 2007 too.

Alternatively, you could use an underlying XY Scatter Chart to create a line
that breaks between December 2006 and January 2007.
