I am wondering how to use a picture (a barrel or a glass) instead of the bar
in a stacked bar chart. So rather than have a stacked bar with 4 colors I
would have a picture of a glass with the 4 colors.

Is this possible? and if so how can I do this? I've seen it in other
presentations, but I don't know if it used other applications to create.

Thanks

Hi,

You can use a picture as the fill picture. You will need 4 images to get
different coloured glasses.
Double click a series. On the Pattern Tab click Fill Effects. On the
Picture tab use Select Picture.

For xl2007 the Picture option is on the Fill tab of the series format
dialog.
