I need to create a bar chart using the following data:

Column1 = 2 (value inside cell)
Column2 = 3 (value inside cell)
Coumn3 = 5 (=column1 + column2)

Here's the layout I'm looking for:

bar1 would start at 0(zero) and stop at 2
bar2 would start at 3 and stop at 5 (nothing would show below 3 for this
bar)

It's pretty much a stacked bar graph but each "stack" would be in its own
column.

Thanks!
