Excel 2007 Line Chart - Chart line to go directly to next value
Hello,
Is it possible to configure a line chart in Excel 2007 to ignore the intervals and graph straight to the next value. For example if I have the periods: Jan with the value 1000 Feb with the value 900 March with the value 500 April with the value 0 May with the value 0 June with the value 0 I want the March value to drop directly from 500 to 0 ignoring the interval to April, I do not want a curved line it must drop directly to zero then the line is straight across to April. I have no idea if this is possible, any ideas? Thanks, Brett |

However, you may be able to do something similar with a variation of a Column format; especially if you format it to show no overlap |

I am not sure what you mean column format? |

Insert / Charts / Column / 2D columns Then, within the chart, select the Data series and / Format Data Series Series Options: Gap Width set to "No Gap" or 0% Fill: Set to Solid Fill and pick an attractive color Border Color: Leave at automatic or experiment. |
