Greetings,

Using chart wizard, is there a way to do the following:

I would like to have a stacked column chart that shows a total amount
($170, in this case) in red, and a 'donated thus far' amount in green.
As donations come in, the green bar grows to - hopefully - eventually
cover the red bar...

Thus far I have only been able to come up with two columns side by
side.
