Hi All,
I have a frustrating problem I'm hoping someone might be able to help me out with.

I am trying to plot some pressures and flow data (a months worth) on a single graph over a period of time. For example:

Time --> Pressure --> Flow
1/2/06 00:05 --> 100 --> 0.5
1/2/06 00:10 --> 105 --> 0.7
1/2/06 00:15 --> 103 --> 0.6
1/2/06 00:20 --> 101 --> 0.2
....
1/3/06 00:00 --> 100 --> 0.5

Now I have no problem plotting this and getting it to display correctly on an XY chart. However, I wish to "zoom" in on a particular day. Normally with on Y axis this is simply a case of 'rescaling' the X axis. However, with two series, it does not give me that option. Simply options to amend the number of categories. Can anyone provide any insight into as to how I may go about this? I would use a time-scale line graph but my data is less that a day (5min) in units.

I hope this is not too confusing and please ask if you have any concerns.

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
