I'm still not sure I get it. What about a Scatter chart with the
points connected? Would that be reasonable? With this you'd specify a
max X value of say 365 to represent a year, and then plot the values
based on that, ie: 67,57|234,80|57,89 ad infinitum. Then just connect
the points. If there's a pattern, it would become apparent.
