Hello!

I have a set of data similar to the following plotted as two line graphs, one for Bills, one for Coups. As any point between the two lines, I would like to find the difference. The problem is, the data points do not line up, so I can't simply take Coups minus Bills. Is there a way to extrapolate the differences based on the line?

Thank you!

I've added trend lines for Coups and Bills, based on Moving Average. Is there a way to find the difference between trend lines?
