Am confused about a simple data layout- need help asap!
 

This is really silly, because I am good at charts, but for some reason, I
cannot formulate in my head the proper layout of this chart. Here is what I
have/need:

THESE ARE MY DATA HEADERS:

A B C D E
F

PERSON JOB 1 JOB 2 JOB 3 TOTAL ARBITRARY
1-3
NUMBER
THE DATA LOOKS LIKE THIS:

A B C D E F
NAME1 3 2 8 13 2
NAME2 4 6 2 12 7
NAME3 1 9 0 10 3
NAME4 0 7 4 11 6

I want to see the relationship between B to F, C to F, and D to F. Column E
may not be used at all.

Create a clustered column chart so that each person is a category on the
horizontal axis and each of BCDEF are series (so five columns for each
name).
Using the Select Data dialogue, remove series E.
Go back to the chart and format column F to be plotted on a secondary axis.
Change F to a line and marker chart and remove the lines (and format the
markers as needed)

Any help?
