Default Stacked bars with Single bar alongside

I am trying to create a graphical representation of people's
availability over the coming months. I have 7 people, available for
varying numbers of hours each month and details of their current
commitments and, by calculation, the shortfall/remaining availability
Jan Feb Mar
Apr
Joe Avail 154 140 154 143
Joe Work 100 165 135 150
Joe Free 54 -25 19 -7
Tom Avail
Tom Work
Tom Free
Kim Avail
Kim Work
Kim Free
..

What I would like to create is a chart, showing the Availability in a
single bar with the Work and Free (or not) stacked alongside for each
person for Jan, then for Feb, then for Mar, then for Apr. If at all
possible, with their names as a label, if not then in the legend will
do.

Can someone point me in the right direction please. I've looked at the
suggestion on Stephen Bullen's site (FunChrt4) but couldn't get it to
work as I am describing above.

Thanks in advance for any help provided
Regards
Fred

One reason it might not be working is that you haven't adjusted your data.
You have to stagger the data so the Avail don't stack on the Work and Free
points and vice versa.
