welcome to the forum, stefan.

1. you need to do a summary of the data first. so select A4:G147 in the data worksheet.
2. go to INSERT tab -> PivotTable. Click OK.
3. On the right side, you will see PivotTable Fields. that controls how the report looks like. left-click and drag the File Date field to the ROWS area below.
4. click and drag ShiftNum field below File Date field in the ROWS area.
5. click and drag Unplanned field in the VALUES area
6. click and drag Planned field in the VALUES area
7. click on cell B3 where the "Sum of DownTimeMinutesUnplanned" is residing. Name it Unplanned Downtime.
8. click on cell C3 where the "Sum of DownTimeMinutesplanned" is residing. Name it Planned Downtime.
9. go to INSERT -> PivotChart -> Column -> Stacked Column (2nd choice). Click OK.
10. go to ANALYZE tab -> Field Buttons (click top portion). that hides the Field Buttons.
11. it will look very cluttered as you have many dates and ShiftNum. Adjust it to be bigger
12. if you want ShiftNum to be in order of "D", "A", "N", adjust it in the PivotTable.
13. click on each color series and change it to the colors desired.

some are a bit difficult to explain over words.
ps: i did a quick audio-less video since some adjustments are difficult to explain here.
