    Charting text only data

    Hi Team,

    I have the attached which i'd like to chart, to highlight graphically which products have had various delivery statuses per month. I know i want month in my x axis. A stacked or clustered bar chart based on product within the chart, i'm just not sure what would be on the y axis. I assume i need to count instances of status or product and use that for the chart - i just cant get my head around it, or maybe these 3 columns cant be charted together in 1 chart?

    appreciate the help

    You can create two pivot charts - one for Product wise count, and another for Status wise count for each month in a stacked bar chart.

    Sample attached.

    Thanks Sourabh. That makes sense. Is there however a way to represent this data in a single chart? i cant conceptually see how that would even look but interested to know peoples thoughts.

    Re: Charting text only data

    Theoretically you could plot both those stacked bars for the month of January in the same chart, to make a "clustered+stacked chart" as explained here -https://www.exceldashboardtemplates.com/how-to-easily-create-a-stacked-clustered-column-chart-in-excel/

    However, it is a really lengthy process and there's no straightforward way to make such a chart.
