I am facing the issue of including time in excel charts as the y axis.


Jan Feb Mar Apr May Jun
A 109 114 137 145 135 201
B 23:19 23:24 23:47 23:55 23:45 0:51
C 23:19 23:24 23:47 23:55 23:45 0:51

Basically, when i jump from May to Jun for B and C, I need the chart to continue on an upward trend instead of dipping back.

I am not sure how to attach the excel file. Please let me know how to do so so that i can attach it to make things clearer.

Thank you!

Create a Pivot Table on a Map
If your data has zip codes, postal codes, or city names, select the data and use Insert, 3D Map. (Found to right of chart icons).
This reply may not make sense, because I'm not sure what the times signify, and why each month has a particular time associated.

A time is a fraction. If you go from a large fraction (almost=1) to a small one (just over zero) of course it's going to return almost to zero.

Instead of time, enter date and time in the cell Since June 1 is 1 greater than May 31, any date+time on June 1 is greater than any date+time on May 31. Format the cells to show only the time and not the date if necessary.

If you have a cumulative time, not a tame on two successive days, then simply add 1 to any times after the dip (ad add 2 after the second dip, etc.).

P.S. If your description is clear, you don't need to upload your worksheet. If you had uploaded one I would not have taken time to respond to this post. It takes too long to open and figure out a workbook. Even a screen shot is not necessary in the vast majority of cases.
