thanks for your reply
although as i previously stated i was aware that this is not a type of chart supported, i was hoping some one could suggest how it could be created or even if it could seeing as it can not generated automatically.
i thought maybe i could create a table which housed the static landscape colour blocks but somehow then create adjoining blocks in a corresponding colour which i could dynamically add a number to and allow that block to be positioned along side the correct part of the table( based on if its between a certain range of numbers it goes here or if not it goes there)
if you can help it would be appreciated
perhaps if its not suitable in this section perhaps you could tell which part of this forum it would be better suited
cheers
