How do I make a line graph with inequalities and data ranges? Whenever I make the graph, the numbers on the x and y axis do not correspond to the data in the chart. X values: 8,18,41,52,20,11. Y values: ≤50, 51-60, 61-70, 71-80, 81-90, ≥90

    Maybe I don't understand what the problem is. Please post a sample file on your OneDrive Public folder and share it. Post the link here. Then explain what data you want to see in the chart.

    So what you're saying is excel cannot detect inequalities?

    Hello,

    a line chart plots the x axis as categories, not numbers. If you need to position the X value precisely, you need to use an XY Scatter chart. It can be formatted to show with lines or without lines, with markers, or without markers.

    It looks like your data has numbers for the X axis, but the Y axis has text that describes a number range. Try to convert that to real numbers, so the data can be plotted. Excel cannot plot text values on the Y (value) axis.
