Excel 2003 - Combination chart: Stacked Column + Stacked Column
Is there a way to show 2 series as 2 stacked columns on 1 chart?
For example - x-axis = quarters of the year: Q1, Q2, Q3, Q4 left y-axis = projected sales by region as a stacked column right y-axis = actual sales by region as a stacked column Regions = America, Europe, EMEA, APAC This chart can help get a quarterly comparison of projections vs actuals by quarter and region. Thanks! |

Excel 2003 - Combination chart: Stacked Column + Stacked Colum
Barb,
Thanks for the quick response. This article came close but did not help me because the items in the 2 series are different. The chart I am trying to create has the exact same items in both series (Sales by Region), only the values are different for actual and projected. Maybe the answer is there and I need to improvise some. Do you know of any other article that comes closer or some other web site I could refer to? TIA! Robyda.

Thanks! Why not create a chart with two series (actual and projected) on the same y-axis? |

It still boils down to how you arrange your data. You asked about this in
the comments to my blog post on this chart type, and I answered with a sample table showing the appropriate data layout. You cannot use the simple table that would appear in a report; fortunately worksheet space is cheap and you can support both tables, with links from the charting source to the original data so changes in the original are captured by the chart. http://peltiertech.com/WordPress/200...column-charts/ - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Robyda" wrote in message ...
