stacked alonside with regular columns
 

hi everyone. i have three series say X, Y and Z. however X only relates with
Y and Y only relates with X. together they relate with Z. i thought of
plotting this using a stacked column (with both X and Y) that goes alongside
a regular column (Z).
can this be done using excel 2000? is there a smarter way to plot this? tyvm

If you arrange your data appropriately, a stacked chart could be what
you need:

X Y Z
X1 Y1
Z1
X2 Y2
Z2
X3 Y3
Z3

The three series stack on each other, but where there are X and Y
values, there's no Z, and vice versa.

dear mr peltier,
just one more thing, your advice did work as i told you, but now it seems
like i can't change the order of the series. i have on column with X and Y
stacked and then Z alone. but i can't change it to Z alone and then X and Y
stacked.

i tried changing the series order (right click and then format data
seriesseries order). but no matter the order i input, it always shows up X
and Y column and the Z. i can only manage to change the stacked column,
either placing X on top and Y on the bottom and the other way around.

can you help?

ty in advance

Change the data around:

X Y Z
Z1
X1 Y1
Z2
X2 Y2
Z3
X3 Y3
