Help with graph from exported information
I am trying to graph information from a spreadsheet that has been exported
from another program (a time-recording program). It basically puts the information like this: matter 1 - 5 matter 2 - 10 matter 3 - 2 matter 2 - 5 matter 2 - 10 etc etc I want to create a graph that charts the TOTAL of all matter one, etc. I can't figure out how :( Am using Excel 2007. Thank you Susan |

Thanks for the link Jon but I can't seem to get it to work. The examples
show just one column of data More Likely Unchanged Less Likely etc and uses sums/pivot tables to count how many times these appear. However my data is in 2 columns and I need to add the totals for each category. I am trying to add up my time spent on certain matters throughout the week that I have recorded onto a timesheet (in another program). For example: Training 5 Support 10 Training 2 Admin Tasks 2 Support 5 etc Any help appreciated :) Cheers Susan "Jon Peltier" wrote: Try this approach: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/ChartsH...idateData.html - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "susann" wrote in message ...

If the columns are not labeled, head the first with Category and the second
with Count. Create a pivot table. Drag the Category field to the Rows area, and the Count field to the Data area, and make sure it gives you a Sum of Count label for the totals. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "susann" wrote in message ...
