Default stacked column chart with negative values

Thanks Jon, but I don't see how a waterfall chart would help. We don't wan't
the hanging bar effect that a waterfall gives. Can you explain more?

Thanks!

Is there a way to have a stacked column chart show each series but only
have
the total height of the positive numbers would take into account the
negative?

For example:
Q1 - US 59, Asia 45, Europe -30
Q2 - US 45, Asia 50, Europe -25

For Q1 - we would like the positive stack to reach 74 and Q2 - 70. But we
would still like to have it broken down by the individial series.

Thanks!
