I have a series of data that I am unable to graph correctly.
How can I graph this so that it is useful? I have tried several different ways and this data is actually tabulated from another list arranged as follows:
If anyone has any suggestion as to how to graph this, or arrange the data so it can be graphed easily, or any info as to how to get this in a useful format please let me know, I am under the gun and the report is due tomorrow and I've been floundering at this for a while now. The pivoting of the original data ends up with (trying counting) a 1 under each date header and a count of all the rest of the dates per category summed up at the end
Code:
Building Status 01/01/11 03/17/11 04/15/11
Admin Added 4 1 2
Admin Deleted 0 2 2
Admin ReAdded 0 0 1
Tower1 Added 5 4 3
Tower1 Deleted 0 2 1
Tower1 ReAdded 0 0 2
...
There are actually 6 buildings, 4 status states, and 30 different non-sequential
dates.

There are additional columns, and I would like to be able to filter the graph
based on the additional columns, which is why I was trying to use a pivot
table/graph, but it doesn't seem to want to come out the way I need it.

Code:
Dates
Data 01/01/11 ... (blank)
Count of Added 1 ... 154
Count of Deleted 0 ... 331
Count of ReAdded 0 ... 64
...
Count of added should be equal to 9 but instead for every occurrance
it only holds a 1 and the rest are shuffled off to blank.
A sumif statement brings it to the right place, which is where I got the
second (top) layout of information. (the only problem is I can't filter
stuff like I need to)
