I am trying to graph records of vegetation management per year along a
railway subdivision. In the past Lotus was used to do this.
My problem is that for example in y-axis row, I want a bar that starts and
stops in two locations along the x-axis. (therefore if the range of the
x-axis was from 0-100 miles, and I have data from 2-6, and again from 50-80,
and these two sets of data occur in the same year).

In a chart with one floating bar, you need two series: one for the floating
bar, and one invisible one to provide a space before the beginning of the
bar. With two floating bars and a gap, you need four series, two for the
visible bars, one for the gap between the bars, and one to the left of the
first bar.
