Default How do I easily view trends over categories in my data

Hi,

This is probably an easy question, but I haven't been able to find the
answer in the help files/archives.

Say I have a set of sales data for a company, something like:

Date Category sell price
01-02-07 Electronics $20.00
05-02-07 Electronics $15.50
07-02-07 Software $30.00

and so on. I would like to be able to create a graph for each category
showing how much the company sold for on any given day. In addition, I would
like the graph to include days where the company didn't sell anything. In the
above example, the data I would like to graph would therefore, for
electronics, be

Date sell price
01-02-07 $20.00
02-02-07 $0
03-02-07 $0
04-02-07 $0
05-02-07 $15.50
06-02-07 $0

et cetera. Having graphed also the days with zero sales makes it more
convenient to analyze. I would like an easy way to make such graphs for each
category of data. I've tried to do this with pivottables/pivotcharts, but I
can't seem to get the "empty" days into my data. I am using Excel 2007.

Thanks in advance!

Best Regards, Alexander
