How to Chart the Maximum Point within Two Loops

[Faye]

I have the following dataset. For each person in Column A, I want to
find their maximum sales $ in Column B for each of the location in
Column C and plot them out in a bar chart. There will be always two
locations (series) for each person.

A B C D
1 Faye 14,874 China 7/4/2005
2 Faye 18,050 China 6/27/2005
3 Faye 31,255 US 6/20/2005
4 Faye 56,351 US 6/13/2005
5 Faye 59,352 US 6/6/2005
6 Faye 74,887 US 5/30/2005
7 Jean 42,671 China 5/23/2005
8 Jean 45,560 China 5/16/2005
9 Jean 60,170 China 5/9/2005
10 Jean 100,357 US 5/2/2005
11 Jean 112,163 US 4/25/2005
12 Jeff 18,078 China 4/18/2005
13 Jeff 26,859 China 4/11/2005
14 Jeff 49,090 US 4/4/2005
15 Jeff 74,579 US 3/28/2005
....
....

Thanks for any input. I appreciate it.

You can use the PivotTable and PivotChart report, and layout the report with
the columns A and C in the rows, and the Max of column B in the data. That
will make all the calculations for you.

Hope this helps,
Miguel.

How can I include the column D in the pivat table?

Good question, the pivot table won't allow to put the date directly on the
data section, and droping in any other area will distort the table.
I don't know how to do that in an easy way, sorry. Also, because it comes
from a pivot table, you cannot play too much with the source data options, so
if having the date is a must then the pivot chart may not be the correct
solution for your case.
