Creating a Graph using MS Excel -- help with a couple problems please

In summary, the conversation is about creating a graph from data related to 3 different computers with the same fields. The three graphs, named Graph1 BS, Graph2 SS, and Graph3 BSBS, have data on CPU percentage, memory usage, disk usage, virtual memory, RSS, and time. The person asking for help is concerned that the graph may not accurately depict the data due to the large differences in values. The other person suggests normalizing the data to show it as fractions relative to the computer with the largest value.

What is the graph supposed to show?
If you plot numbers like 12 and numbers like 9E11 on the same scale you won't see 12, it's too small by orders of magnitude. You could normalize the data: Show everything as fraction relative to the computer with the largest value.
