ok, im trying to convert these two graphs for my Economics coursework, but the chart wizard just keeps giving me a load of crap.

heres the graphs;

and heres what i was inputting;

year 1999 2000 2001 etc etc
% 12.5 10.7 10.9 etc etc

but the graph doesnt look anything like the same. even when i input the % sign. i think its because the percentages are percentages of that year and do not corrolate with the others. still can anybody help me.

thanks,

We used to get scored for being able to reference correctly - not rehash stuff

Err surely it depends on your teacher/lecturer. I know I expect different things than my colleagues

empsburna · 03-11-2006, 15:39

yeah i suppose!

all i know is we got better marks when you referenced things correctly, using a proper referencing method, such as the harvard system

Broon · 03-11-2006, 15:51

Aye, i would get my jewels roasted if I did not apply my Harvard or Vancouver systems correctly (although it depends where I am submitting my research to sometimes)

Look at copying the graph and pasting using paste special - i think you can flip the axis in there

Dean Carr · 03-11-2006, 17:16
