Morning,

I have a set of data like the below:

--------------00:30 01:00 01:30 02:00
01/01/2018 12 ---11--- 15 --- 20
02/01/2018 15 ---17 ---19 --- 25
03/01/2018 21 ---26 ---32 --- 40
etc.

I am trying to get the date and time on the X axis of a chart with the data going across in a line chart.

Any help would be appreciated.

Thank you

What did Pito Salas invent?
Pito Salas, working for Lotus, popularized what would become to be pivot tables. It was released as Lotus Improv in 1989.
You would have to reformat the data to plot to look like this before plotting

01/01/2018 00:30 12
01/01/2018 01:00 11
01/01/2018 01:30 15
01/01/2018 02:00 20
...
This could be done in memory (with some limitations in plotting a graph from a memory array) or placed on another worksheet which would allow the normal Excel graph options.

Is the data already in an Excel worksheet with the date in column A and each of the half hour data in corresponding columns B:AW (00:30 to 24:00)?
Or is this a text output of some data collection system?

In my experience 00:00 is used instead of 24:00. Is that the case for your setup and B should contain 00:00 or does AW contain 24:00 values?
