Origin Version: 7.5
Operating System: XP Professional

I have a set of time-series plots (date=X, concentration=Y), where detects of an analyte are shown as closed symbols and non-detects are shown as open symbols. Right now I have these plotted as two separate series, but this results in breaks in the line connecting the data points (see image below). Is there a reasonably straightforward way to show these series as being continuous in time?

Thanks in advance for any insight. -Amy

Hi Amy,

You can combine the detects and non-detects as one column and use another column to index the symbol interior. Data2 below combines your Y data in column B and uses integers for X data for simplicity. The Set Column Values formula for column C was col(C)=col(B)>350?2:1 where 1 and 2 represent filled and empty symbols, respectively. Column B was then plotted as line+symbol and the symbols were formatted in the Plot Details dialog at the bottom. Note that the symbol shape, size and color can be indexed in the same manner.

Yes, combining the series and indexing as you suggested works perfectly! Thanks Mike.
