combination stacked column and line data
Help.
I've been asked to create a chart that has two sets of data that are stacked (columns) and 5 sets of data that display in line format. Is this an option in Excel. I can do a columan and a line but can't seem to add more than that. I'm using Excel 97 (but have access to Excel 2003). Please and thanks. |

Don't spend a lot of time looking for every last permutation in the "built
in custom" chart types. What you probably want isn't there, but it's easy to roll your own type. Make a chart with all data plotted in one format (probably line, so you have to change fewer series). Select a series that you need to switch, and use Chart Type from the Chart menu to change it to the type you want. Repeat for the next series you need to change. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ "Cowtoon" wrote in message ...

Thanks John.
I didn't realize it would work that way. I'll give it a go. Thanks so much for your help.

Most people don't realize this. They see the few examples offered by Excel,
and assume that's all there is. Microsoft doesn't always clearly explain how to use their products to their fullest. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ "Cowtoon" wrote in message ...

So true. I assumed the same thing and I'm not usually limited by MS's
software, but I certainly was this time. It was soooooo easy to change ... I couldn't believe it. I'm so glad I posted it. Diana "Jon Peltier" wrote in message ... Most people don't realize this.

By the way ... thanks so much for the tip. It worked perfectly. I did it
