I'm a novice at charting. Intermediate Excel user otherwise. I'll try to
describe what I want to do. I want to chart values for eight currencies, so I
want an eight column chart. From there it gets more complicated. What I want
to do is standardize the currency values perhaps every 20 days, and on the
charts I would then plot the variance from a zero line representing the
standardized value. It gets worse. I would like to plot 5 data bars in each
column, based on 5 different moving averages. Each data bar will be offset
vertically from zero by a calculated value. The data will be updated every
minute. The moving averages will be based on minutes. The 1st data bar in
each column would be based on a three minute moving average, the 2nd, a 15m
moving average, the 3rd a 45m moving average and so forth.

So each minute, each of five data bars in each of eight columns would
update, showing variance from the zero line. It's not the calculations I'm
asking help on (yet), it's how to chart this. I'll have a simple table of the
40 values to be charted, the table to be updated each minute.

An attempt to simplify the statement of what I want to chart:
1. A horizontal zero line
2. Five (color coded) data bars in a column showing five values offset
vertically from the zero line
3. Eight columns of such values on one chart (color codes to be same for
each column)
4. The values will change every minute, held in one table

Grateful for any help,
Andy
