My chart splits the two lines independently
I am working on a school project and I have a big issue with my Chart. Basically the Two lines which should be closer together between 11000-13000 keep being split apart and the Red one appears in the wrong position.
Here is a photo:
Does anyone have any idea how I can fix this? They seem to be independent from each other.

The red line is meant to be a plot of Yt from Column C?

The red line is meant to be a plot of YtT (MM ) from Column D. Blue is Yt from Column C

Looks like you've picked a "Stacked Line Chart" type instead of just a "Line Chart" type.

The two lines keep being split apart and the Red one appears in the wrong position.
You have chosen the wrong chart type - a "Stacked Line Chart" type instead of a "Line Chart" type.
The key difference is that the Stacked Line Chart sums the data.
