Hi Jon,

thanks for your reply, I have already had a look on your website, it´s
really good, I have found some useful information.
You wrote that Excel cannot combine these two chart types, but shouldn´t
there be a possibility to do that with VB?
I mean maybe a VB Excel Macro could use the Excel functions in another
way/sequence. then you could create an own chart type...
I think it should be possible theoretically, but practically I don´t know VB
and the functions...

regards,
Michael

Forget the 3D chart. Please.

Why not make a clustered-stacked column chart, which is really a stacked
column chart with carefully arranged data. This page links to a number of
examples of these charts:

Hello,

I created a 3D chart of the type 3D Column Chart from the standard tzpe
menu.
see following pictu

3D:

http://www.directupload.net/show/d/567/MyhouTEW.jpg

X Achsis: driven kilometre in 10000 blocks
Y Achsis: Production month
Z Achsis: number

I need to show another month in that chart, the repair month.
Each colored column should be a stacked column with more colors, so that
every color shows a repair month.
the chart should look like the following but 3 dimensional:

2D:

That is a stacked column chart with 3 D effect from the standard types.
it is not really 3 dimensional, the timeline is missing. I think what I
need
acctually is a combination of both charts, but I cant find a solution.
Maybe it is possible with VBA or excel has another possibility to combine
charts.
Many thanks for help!

regards,
Michael
