Checking in as the ONLY 1950. The infamous (high-school) graduating class of 1968 has been completely unrepresented here. I’m surprised.

I’m in at 1950, with only 12 (at my last count) older than me. WOW, do I feel OLD :eek:

I’ve got kids in 1969 and 1970 (how else would an old fogey end up a Doper?)

Good grief! You take a little vacation, and all these Dopers come out of the woodwork to post in your thread. 🙂

OK, I’ve finally caught up on the figures (although the wonderful **NinetyWt** is doing a better job than I ever could). I’ve got 1963 with a huge advantage at 17 users, 1968 with 12 users, '58 and '64 tied at 10 apiece, and '73 with 9 users. This is for 239 unique users to this point.

I’m going to try to make a bar graph and put it up somewhere that y’all can see it.

In lieu of moving the thread again, I’ll simply say, “1957”.

I don’t mean to be critical since Og knows it’s not as if you have any obligation to provide any kind of helpful graph at all (and thanks for doing what you’ve done), but…

Could you switch this around so that rather than the X axis showing years ordered by decreasing value, they are instead in chronological order? It’d be interesting to see the the highs and lows over time. I could do it but I’d have to input all the data again.

I’ve done that with mine but can’t figure out how to make a screen shot. I suppose I could scan it to a jpg …

**DPF** I see what you did, there.

Princhester, try [this](http://i70.photobucket.com/albums/i84/NinetyWt/DoperYOB.jpg). Somehow I ended up with the later years first - this was my very first pivot table EVAR so please be kind. I am happy to share this file if you want it.

So far we have Dopers from 1922 to 1991. 🙂 69 years!
