Hey guys,

I am having a little trouble working out how i can chart this data. Basically, i am wanting to see a timeline with runtimes for each of these file creations. I was thinking if there was some way to just have each line as an individual start..stop, with a connecting line, at the appropriate location on the chart that would be great.

So from below, I am just wanting to see when and how long each file creation takes and how many overlaps etc, to get a better idea of optimisations i can make.

I was guessing that the horizontal axis, might be the hours raged from first file to the last file i.e 1am, 2am ---> 8am? but really i am struggling to work out the best way to graph this data, and any help would be greatly appreciated.

------- data sample
runtime, start time, endtime, file name.
