I would use either a 7-day moving average or a weekly total for year on year, and I would plot simply by day number or week number. My chart would have either two lines (this year and last) or a line for this year and a lightly shaded area for last year.

Thanks for sharing, this is a very useful way to highlight data. If you’re interested in a blog project maybe you can answer this question: how would you show year over year with the previous year as the background and the current year’s choice as well as last year’s choice highlighted?

You can copy it like any other chart. Depending on how you paste it, it may remain interactive, though the interaction is driven only from within Excel.

If you paste-link, it will update when the original chart updates. If you paste as a picture, the link is broken.

How do you copy/move the Interactive Chart out of Excel to, says, PowerPoint or Words?

A stacked line chart?

What are you trying to show? Num Sys and Num Int implies you want to highlight a single point.
