My first post...Graphs and how much I hate them :)

[Excel Novice Idiot]

Hi folks,

Novice Excel user here and hoping you can help me . I'll state the numbers below but essentially I want to know how long it would take (in days)to clear a backlog and show that in a graph.

Data:

Backlog - 600 items
Ability to request new items - 10 per day
Number of days it takes to send item once received - 8 days.

Based on this data, how would I input this in to Excel and it to spit out a graph which ideally should be showing a downward trend. Also if I was to change the value of the 'Ability to request new items' to say 20, that should change how the graph looks.

Any idea? I'm at a total loss :/

Thank you
