Hi,

I need to present a multi lines chart, my data source is as follows

Code: Select all

Stock                   Value          Date
Company1                 20            1-jan-2007
Company1                 21            2-jan-2007
Company1                 20            3-jan-2007
Company2                 32            1-jan-2007
Company2                 31            2-jan-2007
Company2                 30            3-jan-2007
In the real data each company can have the whole year (365 days) of values. When I show about 5 or more companies on the same chart using the default chart style it becomes difficult to distingish different companies by line color.

I turn on the Chart/Series Lables and set Value Type to Series Title, it sorts of work. Each line is labled by a company name on each data point, I need to only show the lables for say the first, last and middle point only. Is this possible?

Thanks

That will fix the lables on XAxis, my problem is the lables on the line data points. Too many lables and they cover the chart lines.

I have a sample chart image but can't attach to this message, I can email if you need to see it.

Thanks
