    Here you go. Need a chart to show and compare each department's attendance rate for the different months to each other.

    A bit of a guess, as I wasn't really sure what you expected to see!!

    The human eye isn't really programmed to filter a massive set of squiggles and see a pattern. If I was doing this for myself, I'd display a SINGLE department at a time, using a drop-down box to select the department. However, that's not what you asked for.

    IMHO the solution to the problem, as posed by yourself, looks like a dog's breakfast...

    Re-define what you want and work from there.

    How would you do the drop down?

    Like this, maybe? You can hide the green cells by positioning the graph on top of the green cells.
