Dear Tushar- I find the Dynamic Graphs wonderful albeit I do not understand
how to do this yet with my minimal knowledge of excel. But is it possible to
have a series of stores, with 3 variables being recorded across months of the
year and have technique 6 to drop down the store name and the variable
requied? Would it be one drop down box/windows that lists:- Store A-
Variable A, Store A Variable B, Store A Variable C , then Store B etc etc
Thanks
Mike

Answering your specific question, create a column chart. Next, in the
chart, select the series you want as a line. Then, select Chart |
Chart Type... | and select the desired chart and sub-type.

To use a single chart for all the stores, adapt the ideas (particularly
example 6) in

Depending on how your data are organized, you may be able to create a
PivotTable and PivotChart. If so, you may find useful

This relatews to my previous post about '2 seperate clusters of bars...' (not
sure how to give the direct link here).

What I am struggling to do with basic excel skills is to gab the data of
several stores and showing each store performance by month for 2004 and
comparing this with those same months for 2005. There are 12 stores and moths
from July to December. I wuld like to be able to see all on one graph but so
far it is not looking very clear. SO... I have then thought of looking at
each store in it's own graph and using the Bar graph for months of 2005 and
have a line graph over / on the same graph for that store of the 2004 data so
show the trend and change in performance.

Is that posiible and how?

Thanks
Mike
