I have 30 years of data in monthly increments. The years are listed by rows
and the months are listed by columns. How can I get this into a line chart?

Select all the data you wnt to put into the chart including the headings and
then InsertChart and select the line chart option.

Jess,

Assume the first table starts in A1 and covers the
range A1:D8. The macro below will rearrange
the table into columns. From here you can
sort the data and then plot it as one line.


2001 2002 2003
Jan 1 5 9
Feb 2 6 10
Mar 3 7 11


Sub RearrangeData()
Dim Rng1 As Range, Rng2 As Range
Set Rng2 = Sheets("Sheet1").Range("C8")
For Each Rng1 In Range("B2:D4")
Rng2.Formula = "=" & Rng1.Address
Rng2.Offset(0, -1) = "=$A" & Rng1.Row
Rng2.Offset(0, -2) = Range("A1").Offset(0, Rng1.Column - 1)
Set Rng2 = Rng2.Offset(1, 0)
Next Rng1
End Sub


Year Month Number
2001 Jan 1
2002 Jan 5
2003 Jan 9
2001 Feb 2
2002 Feb 6
2003 Feb 10
2001 Mar 3
2002 Mar 7
2003 Mar 11
