I have two datasets, one being sparser than the other. They look like this:
Data Set 1:
4 50
5 55
6 60
7 70
8 80
Data Set 2:
4 10
6 20
8 30
I have several hundred points instead of this few. I want them in the same graph, the X axis being 4-8, the y axis being 0-100ish, and two lines, one for each data set.
What I get is two lines, not correlated at all along the X axis, and the X axis being labeled from one of the two datasets, with the labels being wrong for the other. The smaller data set is one-point-per-tick on the x axis, when I need it to skip ticks and actually line up with the other data set.
Not married to excel, willing to try this in something else if it's free.
