I'm attempting to create a scatter plot that has specific dates as the X-axis and specific times as the Y-axis. After some fidgeting around, I've gotten the desired data points but one problem remains: the range of both axises is too large.
For example, my time data points are between 6:00AM and 12:00PM but 12:00AM to 6:00AM is included and I can't get rid of it. Same goes for the dates, where the range is between 12/27/2013 and 4/30/2014, but I have dates as early as 11/22/2013 and as late as 5/21/2014.
Does anyone know how to trim this data range?
Right click on the axis in your diagram, choose "format axis". There you'll be able to enter whatever axis range you desire (choose "fixed" instead of auto through the radio button).

I have a very simple Excel data set which plots 15-minute date/time segments against values.
When I try to plot it as a line graph in Excel (mac), Excel inexplicably renders the results wrongly. It seems to plot only one value for each day, and I cannot determine how it is picking which value to show.
The only way I can get it plotted correctly is by changing the data into a Pivot table and then it plots fine, even though the data is exactly the same.
You can see some sample data here with the Excel rendering

Suppose I want to plot a chart in excel where the starting (x,y) coordinate should be the average and above average values will be displayed towards up and below average values will be displayed towards bottom (inverted). Check the picture below. I have sales data of potato year wise. The average value is 102.
the chart should look like somewhat as shown in the picture below:
This is how it looks in Excel 2019 - you change 'Horizontal axis crosses' on the axis options:
If you need to show values below 102 as negative, I think you would have to subtract the average from the data.

Is there a way to make a pie chart like this in Excel? All I can find are ways to pull individual slices, but not keep them together with other slices in the same category. I need to keep them together, but pulled out as a group.
There is not currently a way to do this in Excel.
What you would have to do is make multiple pie charts. Each pie chart would have a different category visible (i.e. change the fill and outline of each of the other slices to "No fill" so only the category you want to see shows). Then you would have to overlay the charts to get the desired effect (Make sure the background of the charts on top has "No fill", so you can see the charts below).

I have something weird happening to my excel data.
I have a list of times formatted like mm:ss,00 so 00:38,25 means 38 seconds and 250 milliseconds.
But when I select one of these cells, the formula bar displays 00:00:38 and if I want to edit to let's say 00:40,25 I can't because the ,25 just dissapears into the nether.
So what can I do so that the formula bar shows what is actually in the cell?
Here are some screens
Thank you
How the time is displayed in the formula bar is controlled by your regional settings [customise > Time]. In my version of Excel, at least, I can change it to show AM or PM but I can't add milliseconds, so it may not be possible to display in the formula bar.
You can edit by just re-keying the new time value

I have an Excel spreadsheet here.
What I dont know is
if you look at the main grid the columns are formatted for space so that the description is larger. Now the part at the bottom left. I really want those 4 columns
'RESIDENT NAME' 'ACCOUNT NUMBER' 'DATE' 'AMOUNT DUE'
I really want them aligned with the rest of the grid but how do i subdivide the large Description column to accomodate this?
Because of your formatting in your question I can't be sure what you want, but if you're trying to line up more than one column with the Description column, just make the Description column a merge of more than one column, then multiple columns will be able to fit underneath it.
You can merge cells by selecting them, then going to Format Cells->Alignment and clicking the Merge cells box.
