Good afternoon,

I have a desire to make a chart that will plot a series of dates and compare them. I have all the background comparisons done, now I just want to make a display for it.

The basic idea is to generate a chart or timeline that spans a 5 year period from the current fiscal year (july1-june30) to 4 years prior. Then I would like to plot a series of 3 dynamic dates and a constant date to mark the beginning of each year. At this point I would apply some formatting to color the plotted points and what not.

So, my question is, what are some ways I can go about this? Preliminary google searching has not been worthwhile. ;) Thanks!

If writing INDEX in Func. Arguments, type MATCH(. Use the mouse to click inside MATCH in the formula bar. Dialog switches to MATCH.
Wednesday, any ideas at all? I keep tossing around ideas, but I really have no clue where to start.
