Default how do I create a stacked bar chart in excel

This is probably going to seem like a really dumb question, but I have
searched everywhere in the help. I am trying to create a stacked bar chart.
I have three columns of data:
- Column 1 contains a region
- column 2 contains a sub region
- column 3 contains a cell with numbers of employees in the sub region

I want to create a stack bar chart that has these attributes:
- Each "bar" is a stack of sub-regions
- the "height" of the bar would show the number of employees in that region
(ie, the sum of the sub-regions).

Problem is, I don't even know how to start the selection. Every time I
select the data for the three columns, and, using the chart wizard, ask it to
create a stacked bar chart, I get a very flat (ie, no stacking of the sub
regions) chart.

Can someone tell me/give me hints
