Chart creation

[Harddrive747]

I am currently using Excel 97, which has been great. I have been requested
to change a chart that has been created. The chart is a bar chart and has a
secondary access. So on side is the number of people and the other side is a
percentage of attendance.

So here is a sample of the data

Total people 100
Total attended 50
So the percentage would be 50 %

I have no problem creating a chart like this.

Now what I would like to do is to break out the total attended by three
categories. So the spreedsheet would look like this.

Total people 100
number from one county 13
number from second county 35
number from third county 2

So the overall numbers would stay the same.

Now what I would like to do is to create a chart that is part bar and part
stacked. So the series of total people would be a bar chart, and the series
for each county would be a stacked chart, on the same chart side by side. I
will attempt to draw what I am talking about it with lines below

I hope this helps you give you the idea. I don't know if it can even be done.

Please let me know what I can do.

Thanks

Jon, thanks for the information. I will have to continue to make it work.
It will be interesting because I have a percentage as a secondary axis, but I
think I can do it.

Thank again.
