Question : Data Series for MS Graph

My latest graph problem is that I need to plot a graph from a query. ( I managed that) but it's the way I need the query results to be organised to get the graph right is the problem. The graph used to be done manually from a spreadsheet that looked like this.
Week      CNCM      CNCT      SLID      TOOL      WIRE
2      86.35%      62.06%      96.18%      99.96%      121.94%
3      84.08%      91.25%      94.26%      99.37%      110.08%
4      81.02%      94.43%      88.79%      98.53%      92.11%
5      75.76%      82.35%      114.29%      85.92%      87.08%
6      90.20%      82.82%      83.92%      88.13%      102.47%

When I run my query I get the data as follows.
DEPTCODE      DeptTotal      WeekEnding
WIRE      15.9763313609467      22/01/2005
TOOL      30.8641975308642      22/01/2005
SLID      121.485650551738      22/01/2005
CNCT      50.2331002331002      22/01/2005
CNCM      435.763069369328      22/01/2005

Now I have tried the graph in every way possible but I cant get it to work. What I need is a line graph that shows
Percentage on Y axis
Week on X axis
Values - one line per dept code showing the percentage each week .


Answer : Data Series for MS Graph

livvie,

I have mocked-up a rough little database that meets your criteria. I took the liberty of generating some data on the assumption that the DepTotal was an actual value (tonnage?) and not a percentage. The graph/chart is based upon weekending (shown as numerical week), Departmental Performance (%) and DepartmentCode.

Do you want me to email the mock-up to you?

regards,

Ian..
