    Unhappy Categorized graph with months

    Hi,

    Does anyone know how to achieve this kind of graph? (assuming the x's are numbers of course)

    Thanks,

    Mike

    Actually, I have the attached example - I hope it will help you to work out how to set the data series.

    Have a look at my example and see if you can apply it to your own data. Just shout if you need any help.

    Re: Categorized graph with months

    Thank you. Is there any way i can keep it to two bars only? For example I wanted to view the impacted and total exposures beside each other

    Just deselect the series you don't wish to include: right click on the graph - select data - tick boxes as required.

    Re: Categorized graph with months

    Thank you! I definitely learned a useful trick today. Although here's what I came up with and it's a lot of bars with many colours. Is there a way I can figure out how to get to the result like the screenshot I attached in the beginning?

    You could change the chart type to stacked column.

    Re: Categorized graph with months

    well thanks a lot for your help, sorry for being too demanding . Unfortunately it has to be two bars per system category(impacted and total)..

    You are not being too demanding, but I am afraid I have run out of time for today (I'm in a different time zone!), so hopefully someone else will take it from here. Good luck!
