Anyone plotting their times on a graph? I can do the 't get it to plot. Does anyone have a file they'd share?
  • I've got one ready to send- PM me your email address and I'll shoot it off to you.
  • Anyone plotting their times on a graph? I can do the 't get it to plot. Does anyone have a file they'd share? Make sure all the times are in the "time" format before plotting. Best way to do that when entering the time is use the mm:ss.xx format even when times are less than 1:00. (In other words, use 0:59.13, not 59.13). If you already have a series of numbers entered as (say) 59.13, then you can't just change the cell to the time/date format. If you don't want to re-enter the data, then insert a new column and use the following formula = /(24*60*60) and change the format of the formula cell to mm:ss.00 (or just ss.00 if you don't want the 00: prefix).

Ah good tip...thanks Chris...I'll bring printouts of my graphs to Boston for you to be impressed by...:bow:

    not sure if anyone still has the excel swim time file available, but I've been working for several weeks not to create one for my daughter's swim times and I can't get it to work. I'd greatly appreciate it if someone has one already set up if they could email it to me at rxmwilson@hotmail.com Thanks, Mike Wilson
