How can I make line chart from this data?
Two lines
X values = time
Y valies = number
This is just small sample of data (I have more than 30 day).
(I use Excel 2016)
Thanks
Make sure your X-axis is the first column and your Y axis is your 2, 3, 4, etc column
Highlight you data that you want to work with, minimum two column.
Find your Insert Ribbon
Select Insert Chart about halfway across and and make sure you select the line one. (Personally I would use and XY scatter plot with lines)
In your case where you have X, Y , X, Y as the sequence of your column, I would edit your data series afterwards to eliminate the series which are really your second X values. Then go to your subsequent Y values, edit their series, and select a new X series for each.
Its usually much easier if you place all your X data in one column, and each Y series in its own column making sure it lines up with the appropriate X data.

I need to display this kind of data in one chart:
Which means:
Function A: Y= X + 10 ;
Function B: Y= X * 2 ;
but what I got from excel is:
Actually what I want is (sorry for the drawing):
My real data is like:
If I format it like this:
I can still not get the correct charts.
Updated to account for change of question
Your data structure is wrong to achieve this in Excel, see for example:
On the left you want your x axis values, don't put a header in this column otherwise it will plotted on your graph as a series (extra line).
You can fill in gaps in your data with #N/A and excel will ignore these points, joining the line to the next available point.
Hello and good day to all
I have question related to excel graph. I have some set of values like this
Now I want to plot these values as a scatter graph. I want to to draw in such a way that by keeping X values same and 4 different Y plots i.e. A, B, C, D in a single graph. Meaning I dont want to merge these Y values on a single X value. Is there any way to do that? I thank you for your time and help.
The data does not make much sense. All X values are exactly the same, so all data markers will be at exactly the same X position.
To create a scatter chart with multiple series:
- select the data from A1 to B11
- insert a scatter chart
- select the B, C, D ranges (C1 to E11) and copy
- select the chart and use Paste Special > insert as new series with series name in first row
Since all X values are the same, many data points overlap and are not distinguishable.
Edit after comment: if you do NOT want to plot the values at their true X position (i.e. the value 1.4), then use four pairs of X / Y coordinates. Use X values 1 to 4 with A to D. Then use text boxes to replace the X axis labels or hide the labels and show the legend instead.
I want to do something like this
I want to make a point x,y coordinate for one and x,y for another and show two points in a single scatter chart.
I am unable to figure out how to do this
x y x2 y2
1 1 1 8
From data above I need to show two points (1,1) and (1,8)
Depending on your data layout, the data points can be added as one series or as two series. Steps vary with your Excel version.
Try this: click an empty cell that has no data in neighbor cells. Click Insert > XY Scatter chart. This will create a blank XY chart. Now add the series.
Right-click the chart > Select Data > Add > select the range(s) for the X and Y values. Repeat for any other series.
If the data is in one contiguous table, you only need one series.
I have imported my XY data (in the same excel worksheet) to matlab with all the X and Y coordinates in separate columns ('FHC'), X is in column b and Y in c. I want to plot these using using k-means.
I got stuck cause I don't like to plot all the coordinates, I like to include the first 10, skip 2 cells and then include the next 10 ect.I tried to specify cells like this (b2:b12,1);(c2:c12,2), it exceeds matrix dimensions?
How can I tell matlab from what cell to what other cell that I want it to include, possibly tell it to skip some cells in between? My code looks like this at the moment (but now it plots all the X's and all the Y's);
X =['FHC',(:,1);(:,2)] %written differently
opts = statset('Display','final');
[idx,ctrs,sumd,D] = kmeans(X,1,...
plot(X(idx==1,1),X(idx==1,2),'r.','MarkerSize',12)
hold on
plot(ctrs(:,1),ctrs(:,2),'ko',...
legend('Cluster 1','Centroid',...
If X and Y are cells then try this:
%if X is a n by 2 cell array
hold on
for ii=1:2:length(X)
plot(X{ii,1}(1:10),X{ii,2}(1:10),'r.','MarkerSize',12);
end
hold off

I cannot get it to work with the letters, but I can get it to work with numbers (=CODE(A1)-CODE("a")+1):
UPDATE after reading Jean-François's answer (but on another computer):
Added a second series just for the custom labels
Show data labels for the new series
Explicitly set the Y axis minimum at 0
Deleted the original X axis labels
Deleted the legend entry of the second series
A few more steps and we're there:
multiplied the X axis values by 10, to adjust granularity for positioning stuff
subtracted 5 for series1 values, to get the data in the middle between major tick marks
played with series2 values, to get the labels also in the middle between major tick marks
Here's an easier way.
Set up the data like this:
Select the first two columns (blue) and insert a column chart (zero value columns do not appear):
Select and copy third and fourth columns (red), select the chart, Paste Special as new series, check first column and first row boxes (it's added as another column):
Right click new column series, choose Change Series Chart Type, and select the XY with Lines style:
Right click XY series, choose Format Data Series, change to Primary Axis:
