My chart splits the two lines independently












0















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 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.



Below are some examples showing the difference:
