Nice Column Graph

So I have data like this:

Year Month #start #end
2001 1 4 2
2001 2 6 5
2001 3 7 1
2001 4 5 4
2001 5 2 6
.....

I'd like to make a column chart where the year and month are on one
axis and then I have a column for each #start and #end for each
month/year pair. Is there a way to tell the chart wizard that I want
to use those two columns for the x axis and then the #start and #end
columns for the other?

Thanks.

Hi,

Remove the 'Year' and 'Month' text from the 2 cells and then select and
use the chart wizard. It should then use the first 2 columns as the x
axis category labels and plot 2 series #start and #end.

Cheers
Andy

So then is there a way to plot the x axis using the dates rather then
just the row number?

If you do as suggested your x axis should look like this.

+------+------+-----+-----+
1 2 3 4
2001 2001 2001 2001


Are those cells dates? I think the chart will only take a date from 1
set of cells.
