    Chart Combo - Splitting X axis

    I have a chart combo (line (monthly data) + column (Total)) and need to have the Total at the end, split from my monthly data series.
    Can this be done? I'm almost there
    ...Presently the Jan and Tot values share the same X space as in sample attached
    thanx in advance

    Change the layout of the data slightly to get the aditional category for columns.

    I've used a normal line rather than stacked.

    Thanks Andy! Looking good. I see where I went wrong in getting the Totals in the beginning.
    At the risk of sounding ungrateful; is there a way to have both Y axis with the same values?
    At the moment the graph does not represent the monthly- and total- figures in perspective

    Sorted! All I had to do is set both max axis values to the same

    The Totals can appear as the first set of columns if you want.

    The key is having all data series of the same length, which incompasses all data points, and staggering the data displayed in each series.

    I do apologize for this. No disrespect meant. Will find that button and use it the next time.
