Hi and welcome to the forum. Unfortunately your post does not comply with Rule 1 of our Forum RULES. Your post title should accurately and concisely describe your problem.

Use terms appropriate to a Google search. Poor thread titles, like Please Help, Urgent, Need Help, Formula Problem, Code Problem, and Need Advice will be addressed according to the OP's experience in the forum: If you have less than 10 posts, expect (and respond to) a request to change your thread title. If you have 10 or more posts, expect your post to be locked, so you can start a new thread with an appropriate title.

I'll change it for you on this occasion but note for the next time.

The short answer is to change the way you record data and have a column for dates and a column for the values, then use a Pivot Table.

@ Teethless mama,

Good catch.

Yes. That helper was to resolve the merged cells. When the typo was corrected the helper row was no longer needed. I forgot to clean up after myself and let it ride.

Thanks for the back-up.
