Dividing a bar in a graph into several sections
 

I have a bar graph that shows sales from several products for each month.
Each bar represents one month of total sales. Currently the graph is only
displaying the total sales of all products for each month but I would like to
display the sales of each individual product within the same bar for each
month.

Can anyone help me to do this? I have tried and tried and can't figure it out

What is the chart source data you are using? Is it just the total
figure? If so, you will get only one value on your column. You need
your source data to be all the products and their values. Chart type
would be stacked column.

I have the figures divided up into to different product groups but it just
puts each product group as a seperate bar instead of stacking them.

For example how would I stack these stats. I have a year worth of stats that
are reported on each month. The bar graph needs to be sales and the line
graph (which is in the same chart) is the $ value of premiums recieved from
those sales.

Month- May
stats for that month- (these would need to be a bar graph)
Motor Insurance - 3,000 (sales)
Home Insurance - 1,000 (sales)
Life Insurance - 500 (sales)
Other - 2000 (sales)

Premium ($) 140,000 (as a line graph in the same chart)

How would I put the bar and line graph in the same chart and stack the bar
graph as well?

Thanks
