Stacked Clustered Column?

[DaveTheEv]

Hi,
I have a 5 variable chart/graph requirement and I cannot find how t
build it in Excel.

I have 5 categories, lets say P,C,F,B,CV
I have 2 sections, say A and B
I have a result per section per period and tow periods, say Q1 and Q2.

Ideally I would have

Result

A B A B A B
P C F ... etc

and then the column for A would show Q1, Q2 results as a stack, column
would show Q1 & Q2 for it as a stack.

So, 5 categories, section A: Results for Q1 and Q2 , section B: Result
for Q1 and Q2 ... 5 variables.

Now Excel 2010 seems to have Clustered Columns (so I can get A & B pe
category) and Stacked Columns (so I can get section A: Results for Q
and Q2) but it does not have both.

Has anyone got any idea how to show 5 variables on a graph in Exce
2010?

Thanks,
Dav

Hi Dave

I think this is what you mean and it works for 2007 so probably does for 2010.
In C1 and D1 put Q1, Q2
In A2, 4, 6,... put your 5 main categories P, C F ... down to A10
In B2, 3, 4, 5, ... put A, B, A, B, ... down to B11
In cols C and D put your data down to row 11.
Highlight A1 to D11. Everything.
Insert - Column - 2D - Stacked.
