I have an excel sheet with the following columns
Date Time Value
I want to plot a chart with Time on X-Axis, Value on Y-Axis and Date as a line on the chart.
How can I do that?
This is how you can do:
I refer to this data for example
Select the (time,value) pairs for the 16th, insert a scatter plot. You will then get this
now right click on the chart, choose Select data and Add. Select the pairs for the 17th on the appropriate X and Y field. Edit also the label.
You will now get this
Repeat step 2 for the 18th, you'll get this

I'm looking for Stacked Column Bars on each date that are present in the given data but not as a whole, so I needed dates on the x-axis with their corresponding count on the y-axis.
Screenshot 2 is what I am actually looking for inside my Excel File. How can I correct my chart ?
Secondly is there any way to add a Total Sum Data Label on each Stacked Column Bar in Millions?

I have a set of 3 columns:
keyword (consider it as a kind of tag; there are only 5 distinct)
dates (today, yesterday, ... 30 days ago)
a value for each combination of keyword and date
I can easily plot one Line Graph (see the picture below), but I need to plot all the lines. I'd like Excel to understand that each different Keyword is a different series.
Is this a pivot table or just a table?
If it's a table create a pivot table with the keywords in the Legend series on the top, the dates in the Axis (category) box on the bottom left side and the values in the Values area.
Create a line chart and there you go.
You need to use the pivot table to gather the data in series. You have to present the data in a way that will work for your chart. A flat table is not going to give you what you want.
I am currently creating a column chart that compares two years of sales data (2012 and 2013). I want to show the data in a table below the column graph that also includes a percentage change. I have this all figured out, but cannot seem to figure out a way to eliminate the percentage change column from the graph itself.
So my question is how can I keep the % change data in the chart below the graph but eliminate it from the column graph itself??
Thank you.

If it's in the table it's in the chart. A few work arounds:
Make the series fill for % bars no fill and same for the outline
Plot it on a second axis and format such that this axis is not displayed
Fake the table, using cells and don't use the data table. Format and position the chart above it.
In my experience the 3rd one is the most work, but the best. Chart tables are hard to format.
I change the chart type (ie. bar chart) and the switch back to the pie chart and it worked. Hope it works for others. Scott
For a bar chart, I change the chart to a combo, make the data I don't want shown a line and then format it so that there is no fill or border, and delete the legend and select "Data Table with Legend Keys" No color will show next to the row of data not visible on the on the chart.
I have data for the x and y coordinates that are based on time ("hh:mm:ss") for an x y scatterplot for excel. Although I have put the x-axis data and y-axis data in adjacent columns and have highlighted them both when choosing the scatterplot, the excel continues to recognize the data not as x and y coordinates but two independent data series. How can I make the excel scatter plot program recognize the data as x axis and y-axis data points and not data series (independent variables)?
Make sure Excel knows the times are really times, and not just text that looks to you and me like times.
Insert a row above the two columns of data. Keep the cell above the times (X values) blank, put a label above the Y values. Select this range including the header row, insert an XY chart.
Change the cell format of the x-axis data to a NUMBER or TEXT before making the chart. When the chart is rendered, change the display formatting of the x-axis back to date/time.
I'm having trouble putting data on 2 different types of data on my x-axis from the data in my table. How can I get the month and year data from my table to a line graph like this?
Like in the graph shown, I want all to group the x-axis by year range (2001-2002, 2002-2003, etc). And then within each year range, I want the values for each month to show for that year from August to May. And repeat this again for each year interval.
What should I select on select data source to make it look like the graph shown?
In Excel, you can arrange your data this way (I've only included 3 years):
Every cell that seems blank is really blank, that is, it doesn't contain a formula or a space or anything that doesn't appear. The "XXX" in the second cell of the second column is temporary. Create your line chart with this data, then delete the "XXX" and format the chart.
Recommend combining the month and year dimensions into a single month-year column and making the values line up in a single column. Then put month-year on the x axis and values on the y axis.
