I have data broken out by month (x-axis) and I want to provide quantity &
value columns for each month (using primary & secondary axis). Then I
need
each column (quantity & value) broken out by region. I if I use the
stacked
column chart, the quantity & value columns lay on top of each other. I
need
them side by side like the clustered column chart. But the clustered
column
chart won't allow me to show the region breakdown of each column.
