I have a Pivot that captures
Project, amount of work remaining in days, days remaining in the project (project end date - now() ). I do not have any specific date fields to use in a series.

I need a chart that shows something like a burn down (line chart). Dates till Project end date in X-axis, Amount of work in Y axis, and a line indicating by what date we can burn down all the work. Can this be done without any manual data entry?

Example Data
KeySummaryAssigneeUpdatedRemaining Estimate in daysProjectStart DateEnd DateDays remaining
Item1Task 1Person A11/7/1412Project 111/3/1411/28/1417
Item2Task 2Person B11/7/1413Project 111/3/1411/28/1417

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
