February 21, 201213 yr Newbies I have a newbie question. Hoping someone can help me out, or point me in the right direction. I have a file with two main databases: 1. employees 2. how each employee does in sales per day. So I have nice lists with a day-to-day sale overview for each employee. Easy to make a chart for each employee - but I would like to do a graphical comparison as well. Now I would like to make a layout where I can compare "Employee #1" and "Employee #2" in a "line chart". The chart would have one lines for each employe showing sales over time. The horizontal x-axis would show dates, and the vertical y-axis would show amounts. The best solution would be a simple finished solution with two drop down menus for choosing two employees - and that this generates a chart. The chart should be look just simple like this: Does anyone know how do I make this work? Thanks, Appleskrott

I have tried a couple of different approaches, and my problem is that I can only choose one employee at a time. When I try to choose two employees the graph disappears. How do I solve this?
February 21, 201213 yr Yes, the days are the same. If you are sure of that, try it this way: CompareChart.zip

February 22, 201213 yr Author Newbies One problem though. I seem to get the dates of some records in the wrong order. Starting with the newest date instead of the oldest. How do I fix this? And why does it only happen with a few employees?
February 22, 201213 yr Try sorting the two relationships by Date. And why does it only happen with a few employees? Could it be because they backdated their data?
