The "Total Sales" spreadsheet in my work book lists sales data for four
product lines over a 6 month period. The total in any of the cells B3
through E8 is the sum of the corresponding cells in the Domestic and
International spreadsheets. I would like to represent the data in these
cells as a bar chart and would like each vertical bar in the chart to
visually represent the data from which it was summed. For example: the value
of 40 in Total Sales cell B3 is made up of 27 from Domestic B3 and 13 from
International B3.

Is there a way to shade or crosshatch or otherwise indicate the components
that make up each bar on my bar chart?

I have a sample spreadsheet that I can upload if it would help to explain my
question. Thanks in advance for any help.

Do you need the patterns, or could you use a stacked column chart for this?

Jon: I would prefer the patterns, that way I get to keep the original bars
but get to indicate the third dimension as a pattern.
THanks,
