I have two data series with dates that do not overlap. How do I plot them separately using different colours under the same graph and date axis?
Thanks

I'm creating a graph with 5 sorts of data that should have in horizontal axis only 2 values, "10/22" and "11/22" (two dates).
The problem I'm facing is than the Excel creates a strange axis, as you can see:
How can I, for example, show only horizontal for 09/22-10/22-11/22-12/22?
This is the Axis configuration:

I am struggling to plot graph using date and time columns. My excel is as below:
Help me plot graph for this data. Thanks.
sounds like you want each vehicle to be its own series.
with the time plotted for each on a specific date.
the only way I see to plot the data is as follows...
I wanted to display my data from my Excel spreadsheet graphically, in the form of a scatter chart.
I know that Excel can do this, but there is one "special feature" about my coordinate system of my graphic, and that is that one of the axes should be labeled with "words" (instead of numbers) to match my table similar to the picture. But I am not sure if Excel can process this at all, I guess that Excel can only work with numbers on the axes.
I would be very grateful for any help and tips and also alternatives!
By definition, the axes in an XY Scatter plot are numeric. But your desired chart can easily be created by adding a helper series to the plot. Assuming the current Y values for the other series are the numbers 1 to 6 for even positioning, you can use a range with Y values 1 to 6 and X values of zero and add that data range as a new series to the plot.
The plot points will sit right on the Y axis. Remove the Y axis labels in the Axis formatting options. You can then use data labels from the worksheet and position them to the left of the plot points of the helper series. Finally, format the markers of the helper series to have no fil and no line to make them invisible.
I'm trying to create what I would call a Vertical stacked scatter plot or a scatte plot with a 2 dimensional x-axis. I tried using excel's normal charting tools as well as its pivot charting functionality, but I have not been able to crack this one. As anyone had any luck with this type of a chart or can you recommend a tool that can handle it. I've included an image of what I'm trying to achieve below:
The Y axis has months, and the X axis is a combination of Year and Units.
Thanks in advance for your input.
This can be easily handled in Tableau, if you and your users have access to it. For example, using sample Excel data with this format:
Date Units
1/1/2014 10
2/1/2014 20
3/1/2014 30
4/1/2014 40
...
You can create the scatter plot you've shown in your mock-up by doing the following:
Drag Date to Rows and change it to Month level
Drag Date to Columns and leave it at Year level
Drag Units to Columns
Change the Marks type to Circle
Reduce the size of the circles so they look like points
Sort Month according to your preference
Here's a link to a screenshot of the set-up and resulting plot:

There are also many formatting options to change the look of the plot.
So I am trying to make a nice line graph for some data that I have. Each line has 100 data points, so excel automatically makes the horizontal axis from 1-100. I want to change the min/max values for the horizontal axis from 0-1, without moving the frame of the graph (i.e. without zooming in the graph). I just want to divide the horizontal axis numbers by 100 in order to rescale the time. This is what my graph looks like now:

So I want to change the numbers on the horizontal axis to be fractions or decimals in the range [0,1]. Does anyone know how I can do this, or any other graphing software that would allow me to do this (I have tried using google sheets, but they have less options to customize axes than excel). Thank you!
Did you use two column to plot one line and did you use the Scatter with smooth lines chart type?
Have one column (X) go from 0 to 1 using intervals of 0.01 and your data in your second column (Y). When using a scatter with smooth lines chart type your answer should look like this:

Plotting your second line in the same chart can be done the same way by adding it through the 'select data' options of the chart.
