It would be a whole lot easier to graph if you had the data sorted in the
way you want it on the graph. Is there a reason you can't change it?

And don't tell Barb that the reason you can't change it is that the data needs to
stay in this format. If it needs to stay in this format for one purpose, then put it into the appropriate format for charting in another worksheet. It might take you two minutes to rearrange. You could even link to the data in the original worksheet if it might be prone to changing. A more flexible arrangement would be to list three columns: Year, Quarter, and Amount. This format is amenable to pivot table creation. Depending on the desired result, you could pivot the table one way or the other. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ Barb Reinhardt wrote: It would be a whole lot easier to graph if you had the data sorted in the way you want it on the graph.

The arrangement of data you pasted into the question you multiposted into the
..programming group is much more normal. Still, the answer is Pivot Table. - Jon Jon Peltier wrote: And don't tell Barb that the reason you can't change it is that the data needs to stay in this format.

Jon,
How would you do this with a Pivot Table? I'm not a Pivot Table novice and I just can't envision how this one would be done. Thanks, Barb "Jon Peltier" wrote in message ...

The data he posted in the other forum was arranged like this:
Q 1999 2000 2001 2002 2003 2004 QTR-1 421 3252 325 23532 457 435 QTR-2 967 4564 8768 5744 2 45 QTR-3 45745 484 457 6554 857 4325 QTR-4 4574 458 45754 45745 457 74 Make a pivot table with each of the year fields in the data area and the Q field in the rows area, then drag the Data button above the years in the PT to place it to the left of the Q field. Here's the result: Data Q Total Sum of 1999 QTR-1 421 QTR-2 967 QTR-3 45745 QTR-4 4574 Sum of 2000 QTR-1 3252 QTR-2 4564 QTR-3 484 QTR-4 458 Sum of 2001 QTR-1 325 QTR-2 8768 QTR-3 457 QTR-4 45754 Sum of 2002 QTR-1 23532 QTR-2 5744 QTR-3 6554 QTR-4 45745 Sum of 2003 QTR-1 457 QTR-2 2 QTR-3 857 QTR-4 457 Sum of 2004 QTR-1 435 QTR-2 45 QTR-3 4325 QTR-4 74 Fix up the first column (remove "Sum of" and fill in the missing values) to get the suggested data source, which can easily produce the table at the top (Year in Columns area, Quarter in Rows area, Amount in Data area). - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ Barb Reinhardt wrote: Jon, How would you do this with a Pivot Table?
