  12. Click "OK" to close the "Edit Series" dialog box.
  13. Repeat steps 8-12 for each of your series.
  14. Once you have added all of your series, click "OK" to close the "Select Data Source" dialog box.
  15. Your chart should now show all of your series with their respective date ranges on the x-axis.
