Hi :)

Can someone please give me a hand? I am trying to create a line chart, using multiple lines, for the following (preview) of data.

I want to have the day of the week on the x axis, the visits on the y axis, and a seperate line for each institute. So, each institute's line should show how many visits are on each day.

I cannot figure out how to graph this - any suggestions?? Thank you! :)

Sheet6


The formula in F2 needs to be copied across and down.

Perhaps you will find it easier to get what you require if you shuffle the format/table with your data in.

Good luck
