Default DOT Chart

I have created a line chart using Jon Peltier's DOT chart example

http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/DotPlot.html

i.e. rotated my chart so the labels go up the side. How do you do this where
their is also a Column C of Values and you want a line chart plotting the two
sets of values

Default DOT Chart

Start with the labels in column A, the two value series in column B and
C, and the heights in column D. Follow the procedure in the tutorial, at
first with only the first value series (based on columns B and D, not B
and C as if there's one value series).

After you've formatted the value series as a set of markers, and hidden
the bar series (where the tutorial reads "Hide the bar chart series to
finish the simple Dot Plot"), copy the data in columns C and D, select
the chart, and use Paste Special to add this series the way you added
the first value series. Excel should add the series as another XY series
on the primary axis. If not, change the chart type, then if necessary
the axis.
