    Stack Graph in Excel

    Hi all, I'd like some assistance with graphs in Excel. Will make this real easy

    I have 2 columns. One it Target one is Actual

    Say the Target is 50million and actual is 25million I want a graph that shows the 25m inside the 50m - so giving the effect of a half full glass - sort of like a progress. IF the actual was 40m - i'd expect the "glass" to appear fuller.

    If the actual exceeded the target the actual would break above the "rim line" of the glass.

    When I do it, it just stacks the actual on top of the target. Showing the 50m first, then the 25m on top

    Please can someone advise as I guess this is real easy thing to do

    Re: Stack Graph in Excel

    Just create your chart as a Clustered Column (not Stacked), and set series overlap to 100%. Format to suit.
    let Source = #table({"Question","Thread", "User"},{{"Answered","Mark Solved", "Add Reputation"}}) in Source

    If I give you Power Query (Get & Transform Data) code, and you don't know what to do with it, then CLICK HERE

    Walking the tightrope between genius and eejit...

    What do you want it to look like? Mock it up - draw it, if necessary, and take a picture!
