Excel data - cleaning data with multiple values for numerous instances

I have a data set which is related to force applied vs distance traveled.
When the data was created the measurement software has provided multiple values for distance traveled as the force increases, then in some cases the data has no values for distance at the force values.
I have several data sets which look like this.
The data looks like this
I want to 'clean the data so I can create a graph with all 3 samples in columns the same height so it is easy to edit and make scatter graphs from.
I tried to clean the data by using VLOOKUP to create a column of force values at each 0.5N, but when I do this I end up with a large table that has lots of missing data points, when I make the graph from this there are lots of blank areas which don't seem to plot correctly.
The VLOOKUP data looks like this
The graph looks like this
Is there a better way to do this which will give me a better looking data set which is better for creating a graph from?
I have about 30 sets of data, so any info that you have would be greatly appreciated.
Why make the columns equal length.
If you plot the three samples with the data as given, an XY graph should look OK:
If there's some other reason to make the columns equal length, I'd "fill in the blanks" using the FORECAST or GROWTH functions, or use a trendline.
You can use IFERROR to insert something in place of the #N/As. For example, you could use =IFERROR(VLOOKUP(A1,D:D,1,FALSE),0) to add a zero in place of the #N/As

How to create a timeline with evenly spaced intervals on excel or powerpoint as seen in this image?

I'm trying to duplicate this timeline graph seen in the picture. I understand I can make the shapes, fill in the color, and add text; however, I'm having a hard time creating the simple timeline on excel and powerpoint. In other words how do I create the evenly spaced 1 hour timeline seen in this image?
You could use a chart with all elements deleted except for the bottom axis.
You could also create a 3-row table, with the horizontal line being the border between rows 1 and 2. The numbers can be placed in row 3.

excel graph of 3-dimenstional data with repeating groups in two axises

I would like to make a line graph with 3-dimensional data where I have repeating groups in the X-axis values and legend. Please take a look at the attached picture.
The graph that is included in the picture is the result of a simple line scatter with data that is under the graph. But this data uses transposed rows to column (stock). I don't want to do that. I want to keep the repeating groups as rows. Any idea how I can get based on the data on the left, the graph at the right ?

Excel Pie-Chart in categories

Basically the pie chart should display the data categorized by the category/color, showing each of the entries proportional to the value it has compared to the others. Data labels will have the name as well as the percentage.
Sadly I could not get that to work in Excel as I wasn't able to categorize the different entries by their category/color.
Please see the pictures below to see what result I'm trying to achieve for the given data.

not an expert with graphs, but make a pivot pie chart. manually set the color of each category as you please. on the pivot table you can drag the order around to force them to be together if they are separate. this isn't the best way, but you can get by on it.

In Excel, how do I make a stacked bar graph with 2 bar that have different data points?

So I have the following data:
I made 2 stacked bars with these data, notice both bar have different data points, my question is, how do I merge them to the same graph so I can compare them?
I would like something to look like this, is it possible?:
A simple solution would be to have all 7 columns in your data table, and then fill in 0's for the values that don't apply to one row or the other.
