    It's not clear from you post what you want or have already tried.

    Can you post example file with current charts and more information about what you are trying to do.
    Cheers

    Re: Creating Stacked charts with 4 rows of data

    Ok I attached the excel with the data that I am looking to put in a stacked bar graph. If you look you will see Pre-RC1-Fixed and RC1-Fixed i want those two values to be represented in one stacked bar graph and the other Pre-RC1-Overcome by Events and RC1 Overcome by events in a second stacked bar graph side by side on one chart.


    By the way thanks for your last help on that other chart its still a work in progress

    Have a look at the attached example. Then describe how the chart should look if not correct.

    No formula. It's all to do with data layout.
    Notice the values are staggered and the chart is based on the range B1:D4 with the chart plotted by Rows.

    Right click chart and pick Location. Specify chart sheet.

    Yes,

    Select B1:D4
    Chart wizard > Column chart > Stacked.
    Set Plotby Rows.

    If you only select those cells no data appears why B1 D4 instead A1 to B4. Also do you select series in rows or columns

    Re: Creating Stacked charts with 4 rows of data

    B1:D4 because excel can not deduce the required chart when the numbers preceed the text AND they are not staggered.

    Excel can only create the chart from the data, and it's layout, provided. It can not devine the expected chart by what you think you want. It is only a program after all

    for the 3rd time, Set Plotby Rows

    Re: Creating Stacked charts with 4 rows of data

    Ok ok ok I dont believe it was that simple to get it to generate a chart i thought you had to put all types of formulas in the excel chart...thanks again.....And the only reason i was questioning it is because i was looking at the other chart that i sent you was the confusion but thanks
