I can't reproduce this problem, in 2003 or 2007. The first category stacks
downward from the horizontal axis to the point on the line series.

I have a data set with categories in columns A-B, and data in columns C-I.
I've configured my chart to use stacked bars for the first 6 data series
and
a line for the last one. The first 6 are revenue allocations, with the 7th
being a cumulative total.

Most of the chart looks as expected, but the first category or row of data
is displaying oddly. The figures in this row are all negative (or 0), so I
expect the top of the bar to sit at zero, but it doesn't. The top of the
bar
sits at the value of the 7th/line series, so that the bottom of the bar is
at
2x that (negative) value.

Anyone have any tips on how to fix
