Sound like you, er I mean your colleague, is using a stacked bar rather than a clustered bar chart.

Re: Align labels on a bar chart

So if he uses a clustered bar chart does that mean he'll have that option?

I keep telling him I know nothing about charts and all he asks me about Excel is frigging chart questions!

I'll point him to this thread :-)

Thanks Andy!
