In Microsoft Excel, the S-curve is included in two chart types: Scatter Chart and Line Chart. Using either of these, you can create an S-curve chart that plots the change in one variable in relation to another variable.
Step 1: Enter Data
Open Excel and enter your data in a worksheet in either rows or columns. Whichever layout you use, if you have two variables, make sure they are matched by the same period of time.
