I have a set of n point (x, y) of experimental data and a function y=f(x) which is the theoretical model. I want to plot them in the same graph and see the difference. My problem is that f(x) has to be a continuous line while my n point has be just dots. I need to get something like this:

I don't know how to plot dots and line simultaneously. Can anybody help me?

In the Excel "Insert" tab, try Scatter Plot, and choose what kind of lines you want to connect your dots with... :smile:

Yes you can format each data series individually, so use
"Marker Options = Automatic" and "Line Color = no line" for the recorded data, and
"Marker Options = No marker" for the function.
