Add multiple categories to horizontal axis in chart
Hi,
I am working on a staff sales chart & that compares 2 years worth of data on a month by month basis for 4 staff. I was wondering how I could have 2 categories on the horizontal axis of the chart. ie staff names & also month eg Staff A Staff B Staff C Staff D Staff A Staff B Staff C Staff D January February Thanks in advance |

Add multiple categories to horizontal axis in chart
The easiest way to do this is by letting Excel do "heavy lifting."
If your data are not in relational form, re-arrange them. The result should be something like: Month Staff_ID Sales_Value with 1 row per salesperson-month combination. This lets you leverage all the tools developed for use with relational tables. Now, create a PivotTable & PivotChart with the above table as the source. Put the Month as the 1st (outermost) row field and the Sales_ID as the 2nd (inner) row field. Put the Sales_Value as the Data field. -- Tushar Mehta http://www.tushar-mehta.com Custom business solutions leveraging a multi-disciplinary approach In Excel 2007 double-click to format may not work; right click and select from the menu "Tango" wrote: Hi, I am working on a staff sales chart & that compares 2 years worth of data on a month by month basis for 4 staff.
