Several of us around the store have tried,,, and we just can't create a
simple Line Chart showing the growth of Sales from 1973 up to 2008. It
seems
this would be so simple. I have the Excel Spreadsheet open with Column A
as
"YEAR" and Column B as "SALES". I follow just as the instructions say,
highlighting the columns and inserting them in the Chart Wizard, but it
just
doesn't display like it supposed to. I manually created what I'm looking
for
using www.barchart.be, but I paid money to have this Excel software on my
pc;
I wanna use it! Any help would be greatly appreciated! Rudy
