International standard growth charts
hello, I'm having troubles creating HADLOCK,WHO,CFEF,INTERGROWTH21st growth charts for clinical diagnosis, please help.
Thank you, yes I do have the data to use , now I need to know the way to construct the charts I want, the inbuilt charts in excel I'm failing to use them to that task
Broadly speaking, I think you need one or more scatter charts with lines but no markers. For accuracy the line width should be 1pt for on-screen reading and a pale coloured grid with major and minor gridlines should allow you to read the values off the chart to 3 s.f. The series description can be inserted as a label at the top or bottom of the curve (rather than using a legend). Data specific to a particular case could be shown by cross-wires in a contrasting colour superposed on the chart.
