Normalize Graph
I have the graph of the historical prices of a stock. I was wondering whether
it can be normalized. To clarify, I would like to see a graph with (-1) to (1) on the y axis and time on the x-axis. The trend line of the stock price data would be considered zero and the moves above or below that line would be depicted between -1 and 1. If anyone knows whether there is a function/graph type in excel to perform this task, your assistance would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. |

Normalize Graph
Normalize the data that feeds the chart. To normalize your data to MIN = -1
and MAX = 1, use a formula like this: =2*(B2-MIN(B$2:B$1000))/(MAX(B$2:B$1000)-MIN(B$2:B$1000))-1 where your data is in B2:B1000, and this formula is to normalize the first point, in B2. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ _______ "WA" wrote in message ...

Normalize Graph
Thanks.
When I construct the graph, I have the x-axis labels (in this case, dates) running through the middle of the chart. How do I move them to the bottom of the chart?

Normalize Graph
When I create the chart, my x-axis labels (in this case, dates) run right
through the middle of the chart, along the zero line. How do I move them to the bottom of the chart? "Jon Peltier" wrote: Normalize the data that feeds the chart.

Double click the axis, and on the Patterns tab, choose the Low option for
axis tick labels. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://PeltierTech.com/WordPress/ _______ "WA" wrote in message ...

Normalize Graph
how does one normalize two or more time series, so as to make them start with
ie 100, or for that mattern any other value? I would like to see two time series starting from the same point, ie from the first data point of the first series. On other words, i would like to normalize one series with another. How can it be done in excel? thanks a lot "Jon Peltier" wrote: Normalize the data that feeds the chart.

The simplest way to normalize is to divide each value in a time series by the starting value of the time series (and multiply by 100 if you want an "index" instead of a percentage). - Mike http://www.MikeMiddleton.com "dejan" wrote in message ... how does one normalize two or more time series, so as to make them start with ie 100, or for that mattern any other value?
