    Maybe you could use a logarithmic chart. The LOG10 function will calculate the values.

    It is difficult to plot chart values that are so different in value without confusing the reader.

    Besides logorythmic diplays, you can make all values a ratio of the largest value and plot those final data points.

    good luck
