Thanks, gents.  Your feedback helped on part of the problem, but it doesn’t quite get me all the way there, as I have a repeated-measures layout:

REC     PRICE1     PRICE2     VOL1     VOL2

001     1.20       1.75       175      212

002     1.33       1.90       126      198

etc.

Isn’t there some way that I can also plot cumulative percentages for both P1 and P2 on the same line chart?  I can’t seem to put two variables on the x-axis, even though they share the same categorical breaks (in this case, dollars and cents.

Am I making any sense, or should I just give up and use Excel?

This is a little tricky in the Chart Builder, because multiple-line charts expect a different data organization from yours.

Choose a SINGLE line chart.

Select all the variables for the y axis in the variable list, and drag the set to the y axis.

Set your x axis variable, and you are good to go.
