Can I create one chart with two different data rows using two different date
time frames?

Bob -

I assume your problem is that your dates overlap but do not exactly coincide, and
Excel wants to use the first set of dates for both series. Here's how to work around
that problem.

Make your time-scale line chart with the first set of data (dates and values). Copy
the second set of data (dates and values), select the chart, choose Paste Special
from the Edit menu, and choose New Series and Categories in first row/column. Select
the new series, choose Chart Type from the Chart menu, and select an XY Scatter type
from the fifth category in the left list (not a Line type from the third category in
the left list). Double click on the second series, and on the Axis tab, select
Primary. Now the XY series is plotted with the Line series on the same set of axes.
