Hi,

May and August have N/A values, the red lines cannot start from these values.

You will have to adjust those formulas to start showing the line as you want.

Thanks. I used the way as "Multi-colored Excel Line Charts" on Youtube and I used similar formula. Could you please let me know detail steps how to correct this? Currently I tried to manually operate data to get expected result.

You can use this formula assuming your values start in row 2 of column T;

=IF(OR(T2>T1,T3>T2),T2,NA())

Note: you should avoid using the smoothed line effect for this type of chart.
