283482 2004-10-22 01:24:00 Hi all.......

I am recording a line chart with 3 series recording rainfall at my place. Series 1 and 2 are 2002 and last year .
What I want to do is have series 3, this year, on the chart but not to level out on the record so far this year with a horizontal line for the remainder of the period.
I list the dates and daily readings on a far away corner of the worksheet but I don't want to alter it all the time to achieve this. Is there a work around here.

I hope I've made this clear :^O.
Short of pasting my chart in here I dunno how to put it.

283483 2004-10-22 02:40:00 Having a quick look at this :--
If you are doing readings every day, and have done so since 1st January 2002, you can have Column A as Days from 1 to 365, Column B as the 2002 data, C as 2003 and D as 2004.
If you make a line chart of this data, Series 3 (2004) will only display a line up to the last day data is entered - (this is using Excel 2000 tho.)

Cheers :)
