    My stacked column Bar chart is not showing the right data!

    Good morning!

    Right, I'm trying to show a a very basic stacked columm chart showing Targeted Savings vs Actual Savings by Quaterly Year - All this data is bogus for now.

    My actual savings seems to be working nicely - but the targeted savings chart is not showing the figures in my table.

    For example, actual savings were say £150,000 but targeted savings were £300,000 - My graph is showing this as about £440,000 as the target - What the heck is going on there?

    I would also like the Y axis to be fixed at 500K but when changing this via Format Axis - it just totally screws up my graph.

    Please see Spreadsheet attached to thread.

    Any ideas? & Many thanks for reading.

    Ok, just noticed, the data is adding together for some reason - How do I make them seperate??

    change chart to cluster column rather than stacked.
    Set the Overlap to 100%
    change the order, so the target series appears behind actual
