starting a data series in the middle of a chart
Hi. I have a chart that shows values from January thru December. The
values from January to May are actual, but the values from June to December are projected. what I need to do is show the actual vakue from Jan to May which is easy. the hard part is starting the projected value at June. When i entered the data, the value for projected shows in the chart at January even though the table value shows it starting in June. I cannot figure this out. Any ideas would be appreciated. Thanks |

Just use one series and apply data labels.
You can then format the labels for the projected portion in Red (or some such) to differentiate them. Or, depending on the type of chart you can simply change the color of the point marker. One tends to get more informed help by providing particulars...
