Presenting bimodals in bar chart

**psybartcharts** · 03-25-2021, 02:52 PM

Hi everyone,

I have a little data set for my psychology assignment and was wondering if it's possible to show multiple modes in the same bar.
My modes for condition 1 are 13,17 - and I want to show them both in the same place - overlapping, if that is possible.

I'm not sure how to go about it as I can't seem to move the bars freehand - perhaps I could create another bar chart and put it overtop?

Any advice is appreciated,

Charlotte

Would you be allowed to add another data series (or 2)? Move the 2nd mode into another column, add that and a blank column as a third and fourth data series, move the third and fourth data series to the secondary axis, format the secondary axis to have the same min, max, major unit as the primary axis. You will probably want the smaller mode in the 3rd data series so that it will be in "front" of the larger mode.
