Data over time graph
I'm in construction, and I'm trying to put together a graph that will show
cost exposure over time for our various subs. Basically, what I want is a graph that shows running totals for our subcontractors - so if we have a sub that is on a particular job from 9/10 - 10/15 for 15 million dollars and another job from 10/3 - 11/2 for 20 million dollars, the sub is exposed for 15 million dollars up through 10/3, 35 million through 10/15, and 20 million through 11/2. I want to make a graph that would show this data, but for multiple subs. I'm not sure exactly how to set up an excel graph that would do this. Any ideas would be appreciated. |
Data over time graph
you're looking at a stacked bar chart.
So, you'd have, say, dates running down column A, then time for each project in columns B through whatever. click your chart icon up top, select Bar then stacked bar. Or, you can pick a stacked line.. Whichever you prefer. You may want to go by weeks rather than days. Makes for less lines.

Sean,
Won't that just show the project duration, not the dollar value attached to the sub during those durations? "Sean Timmons" wrote: you're looking at a stacked bar chart.
