I need to visually compare the costs of 4 products that are currently in 4
tables of data, each table on its own worksheet. Each table contains the following columns: Number of Employees (1 to 100) Core Application (cost in dollars) Module 1 (cost in dollars) Module 2 (cost in dollars) Module 3 (cost in dollars) Documentation (cost in dollars) I'm thinking that I may need to also add a Total column to sum costs in each row. I'd like to graph the number of employees on the x-axis and the cost on the y-axis, and have each product in its onw series showing how the costs rise and plateau across the number of employees. I think that ideally it would be good to have the graph as a pivot chart so that I could dynamically select which fields are graphed. What I can't work out is how to best layout the tables so that I can graph each product in its own series (ie. have 4 series) and then be able to also select from a dropdown which fields are included (ie. all fields, just documentation, all fields except module 3, etc). I thought the Pivot Chart with Multiple Consolidated Ranges would be my best bet, but it results in one (consolidated) series that I can't seem to split out into the 4 products. It seems like I have a 3d cube of data. Should I try and mangle this into one table somehow and then graph the fields in this one table, or should I persevere with the current structure? What's the best approach? TIA. |
