Stacked Column Chart
I have Excel 2003, and I am working with charts. I am not sure how to
interpret the stacked column chart. For example, my January sales column is divided into three colors: Blue (for Jane), Red (for Joe), and Yellow (for Betty). The Blue portion of the column stretches from 0% to 40%; the Red portion of the column stretches stretches from 40% to 65%; and the Yellow portion of the column stretches from 65% to 100%. I interpreted this to mean that Blue (Jane) was responsible for 40% of the total sales for January; Red (Joe) was responsible for 25% of the total sales for January; and that Yellow (Betty) was responsible for 35% of lthe total sales for January. Is this interpretation correct? Thank you for any help you can give me. |

Thank you, Challa. I clicked on the URL and got the message "This page could
not be displayed." In general, is my interpretation correct?

The proper link is case sensitive:
http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/ComboCharts.html but I'm not sure why that particular page is relevant. Anyway, it sounds like your interpretation of the chart was correct. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "jfg" wrote in message ...
