Graphs
Hello
I am trying to create a bar/line graph. I have 2 columns, 1st with names and 2nd with hours. My problem is that some names appear multiple times, in those case, I want the name to appear only once on the graph, but to sum the hours. Is this possible and how? -- Thanks |

Line and bar graphs treat each item in the list as a new category; they are not smart enough to unduplicate the list. So, create a separate range with distinct names in one column and a SUMIF formula in the next column to summarize the results, and base the graph on the new range. |

Graphs
Thanks smartin, that's what I ended up doing, after realizing maybe it's not
possible. on a seperate note, I am having a hard time searching my post. whenever I post, I remember the subject, in this case, Graphs, but when I enter "Graphs" in search for box, i don't see my post. I see other post, just not mine. I was only able to find my post, clicking on excel, and leaving search for box blank and then backtracking on the date I posted my question. -- Thanks "smartin" wrote: user wrote: Hello I am trying to create a bar/line graph.
