Huge amount of information.. the past 14 years of sales prices by month. I would love to crop and enlarge just one month. Don't need 12 copies of the same information.

I apologize if the picture is too small to read. Here is the gist of it. Let's just look at the column all the way on the left underneath the pretty colored lines.
