Putting Multiple lines on an excel graph


Currently I have some data like this, here is some dummy data:


Month  Senior Manager   Average Hours
Jan     Bobby Jones      93.5%
Feb      Bobby Jones      81%
Mar     Bobby Jones      94.5%
Apr     Bobby Jones      95.5%
May     Bobby Jones      89.5%

Month  Senior Manager   Average Hours
Jan     Joanne Jones      93.5%
Feb      Joanne Jones      81%
Mar     Joanne Jones      94.5%
Apr     Joanne Jones      95.5%
May     Joanne Jones      89.5%

I have about five other senior manages like this.


What I want to do is create a line graph with each senior manager having its own colored line. The Y axis Should Have the % numbers from 0 - 100% plus, because some managers employees go over the targeted hours. Further, on the x axis I want the Month and the Senior Manager corresponding to that month to display.


How can I do something like this, or anything remotely similar? I have tried making a line graph, but it simply pus everything on one line graph with the same color. Here, Bobby Jones should have a different color and line than Joanne.



Answer



I think what you are trying to achieve would be done most easily with a scatter plot that uses several datasets; one for each manager. I don't have Excel with me right now, but if I recall correctly, these are the steps:



  1. Add a scatter plot into your spreadsheet ("Insert" ribbon > Scatter in the "Charts" section).

  2. Right-click somewhere in your chart and click on "Select Data".

  3. In the window that appears, click on "Add".

  4. Add a "Series name" (the manager's name would probably work best here), "Series x-values" (the months), and "Series y-values" (the percentages).

  5. Repeat steps 3-4 for as many managers as you need.

  6. You may add lines connecting the data points by right-clicking on one of the data sets and selecting "Format Data Series".

Use Google instead of Bing with Windows 10 search

I want to use Google Chrome and Google search instead of Bing when I search in Windows 10. Google Chrome is launched when I click on web, but it's Bing search. (My default search engine on Google and Edge is http://www.google.com ) I haven't found how to configure that. Someone can help me ? Answer There is no way to change the default in Cortana itself but you can redirect it in Chrome. You said that it opens the results in the Chrome browser but it used Bing search right? There's a Chrome extension now that will redirect Bing to Google, DuckDuckGo, or Yahoo , whichever you prefer. More information on that in the second link.

linux - Using an index to make grep faster?

I find myself grepping the same codebase over and over. While it works great, each command takes about 10 seconds, so I am thinking about ways to make it faster. So can grep use some sort of index? I understand an index probably won't help for complicated regexps, but I use mostly very simple patters. Does an indexer exist for this case? EDIT: I know about ctags and the like, but I would like to do full-text search. Answer what about cscope , does this match your shoes? Allows searching code for: all references to a symbol global definitions functions called by a function functions calling a function text string regular expression pattern a file files including a file

How do I transmit a single hexadecimal value serial data in PuTTY using an Alt code?

I am trying to sent a specific hexadecimal value across a serial COM port using PuTTY. Specifically, I want to send the hex codes 9C, B6, FC, and 8B. I have looked up the Alt codes for these and they are 156, 182, 252, and 139 respectively. However, whenever I input the Alt codes, a preceding hex value of C2 is sent before 9C, B6, and 8B so the values that are sent are C2 9C, C2 B6, and C2 8B. The value for FC is changed to C3 FC. Why are these values being placed before the hex value and why is FC being changed altogether? To me, it seems like there is a problem internally converting the Alt code to hex. Is there a way to directly input hex values without using Alt codes in PuTTY? Answer What you're seeing is just ordinary text character set conversion. As far as PuTTY is concerned, you are typing (and reading) text , not raw binary data, therefore it has to convert the text to bytes in whatever configured character set before sending it over the wire. In other words, when y...
