One dimensional timescale
 

All,

I would like to do a simple thing with excel, but I can't figure out
how.
My data look like this:
Event1 10
Event2 23
Event3 84
Event4 88

And I would like excel to produce something like:

0 23 24 84 88
|-----|-----|--------------------------------------------------|-|
E1 E2 E3 E4

A timescale describing the event as they occur in time.

I'm using Excel 2000. Anybody has an idea ?

One dimensional timescale
 

Hi,

Here is one example of a timeline
http://www.vertex42.com/ExcelArticle...-timeline.html

You need to use a xy scatter to create the line. Your values will be the
x point. You need to add a set of y points with the value zero.
If you create 2 data series based on the same data you can use one
series data labels for the values and the other for the event
description. The event data labels text can be linked to the cells
either manually or with the aid of an addin.
