There are only 3 intersecting points in years 1985, 1995, and 2003. I follow your method above but my area chart doesn’t fit between my line charts? I wish I can show you the distorted graph that I produce. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks

Thanks Andy! I don’t actually understand how my blog works sometimes, I thought I had told it to allow anonymous comments but I probably forgot to save the settings. It should work now.

Andy -

Thanks for your comments. I left a comment on David’s blog, but I have a WordPress account and signed in using it. Maybe that’s the kind of account it wants?

Great tips from David and I enjoyed his blog as well. Call me stupid but I can’t seem to comment on his blog directly… I get asked to “Please choose a profile” but none is available.

KC – Thanks. I’ve noticed this as well. I’ll have to see what’s going on.
