    Stacked Column Chart with Broken Axis

    Good afternoon,

    I'm looking at a variety of vehicle crash costs classified into 5 types: Minor ($0-$5k), Moderate ($5k-$10k), Serious ($10k-$20k), Major ($20k-$50k) and Severe ($50k+). My ultimate goal is to compare year over year cost data to show improvement. I've included a table below with some sample data. Whenever a single Severe accident takes place, the cost is so high that it makes any type of representation for the Minor accidents disappear completely from the table. What I'm hoping to do is a stacked column chart showing all 5 categories in each column resulting in one total cost for the month with a break at $1,000,000 resuming at $2,500,000 and another break at 5,000,000 resuming at 10,000,000.

    I've looked up some videos to see how to take a single total value & create an axis break, but they don't cover how to do it as a stacked column.

    January 2019 January 2020 February 2019 February 2020 March 2019 March 2020
    Minor 51100 21000 81000 59000 95500 73300
    Moderate 242500 93000 532000 220000 700000 455000
    Serious 425200 350000 425200 455000 700000 455000
    Major 210000 0 210000 0 640000 0
    Severe 4500000 0 4500000 0 4500000 0

    Thanks for your time and help. I really appreciate it

    Consider alternative chart type rather than breaking the axis.

    Each panel can have it's own scaling and Total could be an additional panel.
