Hi,
I have a table of data let say 10 rows and 50 columns, total 500 data
points.
I would like to chart all 500 points into a single continuous series.
But i keep getting 10 series each have 50 data points.

Thanks in advance,
Zawa

select the first series and chart it, then goto <chart<source data <series
click at the end of the "y" entry and enter a comma and select the second
row data, enter another comma, and contiue for the 10 rows. hit enter and
they should be one series.

The obvious answer is to put the numbers into a single column.

Setting up your data properly eliminates 99% of the difficulties people have
with Excel charts.

bj,
I try that and I could not get more than 13 rows in there. There is a
character limit for "y" :(

Jon,
The data is from another department and they want to keep in seperate
row/column for another purpose.

I might have to manually copy and paste into one column. :( there are a
lot of sheets I have to do it on, cause they have a lot of data
history.

Is there a command or macro where I could run and just copy and past
many columns into one column?

Are they requiring you to do something with the information? Or are you
requesting the data from them. If it's the former, I'd get them to format it
a little more appropriately. Which might be like pulling teeth... I'm a big
proponent of keeping the main data in a flat database kind of format, and if
you need a special layout for screen display, or printing, or charting, or
whatever, then you link your specially formatted sheet to the main data
table.

Probably you could cobble together a macro to take their ugly format and fix
it up, but it would be different from one that I would need for someone
else's data.

I found a quick way to get all data into one column, instead of copying
and paste.

Using excel analysis tool (if there is no Data Analysis, go to help and
install this tool set)

Tool - Data Analysis - Sampling

select input range, sampling period 1, output option.
