Excel日期和时间与值图

Question

I am working on a dataset that has over 30,000 rows, and I need to create a time-value plot.

My data consists of 4 types of columns

• item
• date[YYYY-MM-DD]
• time[00:00:00]
• simple values

I have 15 names in total, and the values are recorded every 10 minutes for 14 days.

If I want to create a graph that has 15 curves on it with date&time on the x-axis and value on the y-axis, how should I do it?

I sorted the data with names, date, time, so I could do it manually by selecting the values and Date&time for each item which would be ridiculous. Would creating a Loop in Macro help and how to code it? or is there another way of doing it?

Answer 1

Create a pivot table with

• Row fields: date and time
• Column field: item
• Data field: value

Create your graph from there.
