Default Side-by-side bar chart

Excel doesn't stack them, it just draws one series in front of the other.
You need to add a couple invisible series to offset the visible ones:

Hello.

I'm using Excel 2007.

The goal: I want to build a bar chart that has two bars for each value
(one
is volume, the other is effectiveness).

Category Effectiveness Volume
A 11.4% 398241
B 10.2% 364633
C 6.9% 49214
D 12.4% 32790
E 15.4% 14148


The problem: I can get the two data sets added with each value (volume on
the primary axis and effectiveness on the secondary axis). But... Excel
tries to stack the the two bars by default... I need them side by side.

I can't figure out how to get them side by side. Any help is appreciated.
