 \nThis should produce a simple line chart from the data you have entered in column B;  \nYou now need to add column A to the x-axis on your chart:  \nRight-click on the chart you have created and click 'Select Data...,click on 'Edit'under'Horizontal(Category)Axis Labels'and highlight(click and drag over)all of the completed cells in column Aexcept cell A1;  \nClick 'OK'and‘OK'again to bring you back to your worksheet and chart again(hopefully now with x-axis values);  \nYou should now have a simple run chart with data from your first two columns.You can format theappearance of the chart by clicking on the chart and clicking on the 'Chart Tools’tabs which appearalong the top of the formatting ribbon.  \nTo add a median line,click on cell C1 and enter'Median'.In cell C2,type:  =MEDIAN(SB$2:$BSXX)  \nin the formula bar,where BXX is the last complete cell in column B on your worksheet(e.g.B13 inthe above example).Click enter to see the calculated result in cell C2,then click on cell C2 again anddrag the dot in the bottom right-hand corner of the cell down to fillcolumn C against all thecompleted values in column B;  \nNB the dollar signs signify a function called 'absolute referencing’,which allows you to fill column Cwith the same median value;if you enter'=MEDIAN(B2:BXX)',when you fill column C,each valuewould be different due to something called 'relative referencing'(which you don't want!);  \nNow to add the median line to your chart,click on the chart,then click once more on the grey frameoutline of the chart.Column B should appear highlighted in blue.Drag the blue outline to include thevalues in column Cas well as column B.Your median line should appear on the chart.  \nTo get the data points to start and finish at the edge of the x-axis,click on the chart and then the'Layout'tab across the top of the formatting ribbon.Select‘Axes'>'Primary Horizontal Axis'>'More Primary Horizontal Axis Otions...,then click the 'On tick marks'option under ‘Position Axis:'atthe bottom of the 'Axis Options'page.  \nTo adjust the scale on the y-axis,follow the same procedure for the ‘Primary Vertical Axis',and enter  \n'Fixed'maximum and minimum points for your y-axis values.  \nClick here for a template of the example data.Good luck!","cbCaikyMTgkFW4qJ","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaikyMTgkFW4qJ","pdf",1283119,"English","# How to create a simple run chart (using Microsoft Excel 2010)\n## Create the workbook and enter x/y axis data\n## Insert the line chart and add x-axis labels\n## Add the median line and format axes","[{\"question\":\"How do I set up the x-axis and y-axis labels in Excel for a run chart?\",\"answer\":\"Enter the x-axis value name in cell A1 and the y-axis value name in cell B1, then place x-axis data in column A and y-axis data in column B on the rows below.\"},{\"question\":\"How do I insert the line chart using the run chart data?\",\"answer\":\"Highlight the completed cells in column B, then go to the Insert tab and choose the Line chart option.
