Let's say I have a data table like
╔════════╦══════════╦═══════╗
║ Stock ║ Date ║ Price ║
╠════════╬══════════╬═══════╣
║ Stock1 ║ 1/1/2017 ║ 17.0 ║
║ Stock1 ║ 1/2/2017 ║ 17.4 ║
║ Stock1 ║ 1/3/2017 ║ 16.9 ║
║ Stock2 ║ 1/1/2017 ║ 78.9 ║
║ Stock2 ║ 1/2/2017 ║ 77.4 ║
║ Stock2 ║ 1/3/2017 ║ 79.3 ║
║ Stock3 ║ 1/1/2017 ║ 130.6 ║
║ Stock3 ║ 1/2/2017 ║ 128.5 ║
║ Stock3 ║ 1/3/2017 ║ 124.7 ║
╚════════╩══════════╩═══════╝I want to use Excel to draw one single line chart, x-axis should be the dates, y-axis should be the value of stocks. And each stock has its own line in the chart.

1) Convert your data to an Excel Table.
2) Create a Pivot Table based upon your data table from Step 1, with:
column (legend/series) labels = Stock
row (axis/categories) labels = Date
values = Price
3) Create a Line Pivot Chart from your data
Put all Stock data in separate columns, select the whole table and
create X-Y chart as usual:
