    Cool Stacked column graph to show downtimes

    Hi there, and thank you for your time!

    So, this is my situation:

    I've been tasked with creating a chart to show downtime for a piece of equipment through log on and off times. I figure, if I can get a stacked column graph to plot time on and time off in alternating bars, then the area in between plot points is downtime. However, I can't seem to get the graph to alternate values from the two columns. Is this possible? It seems like it would be easy, but there must be something I don't understand. Just in case this is a confusing description, what I'd like to do is this

    Time On| Time Off

    To a stacked column something like this

    Time Off
    Time On
    Time Off
    Time On
    etc.


    Thanks so much for any help you can provide.

    From the second data point onwards you need to plot the difference in time not the actual time.

    If you are still stuck post workbook example
    Cheers
