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.
