I want to create a bar chart. On the left is a list of services. Each bar
represents a company. Each company will be shown in the chart to offer
services up to a certain point, so the bars will get increasingly longer
until you get to the bar for my company which shows the longest bar because
it offers the most services. Any idea how to structure my data to get this
type of chart?

I don't know if this will work for you? Just a suggestion.

Couldn't you describe it in text? Something simple like this:

List your data in a worksheet like this:

Services
My Company 18
Company D 10
Company C 7
Company B 4
Company A 3

Make sure the data is sorted in descending order. Select the data and
use the chart wizard (the chart icon on the Standard toolbar, or Insert
menu Chart) to create a bar chart.

Look at that! Much less bandwidth and easier for anyone to read than
having to download, virus scan, unzip, and open an attached file.
