On my website, I have been posting information regarding the Blairsville, Georgia real estate market.

I would like to have the ability to plug these numbers into a chart or graph format.

Can anyone suggest a great program - preferrably free or inexpensive- that I can use to achieve this goal?

Thanks!

Use the "Help" feature and it should walk you through creating graphs from tables. February 9, 2008 1:19 PM
