Default Line Chart - Multiple Lines

Hi,

First column should contain the quarter/year data.
Second column should contain Intake volume for Office 1.
Third column should contain Intake volume for Office 2.
etc ...

If you put Office name in first row and start data in row 2 this will
help excel determine your data layout.

Cheers
Andy
