Adding a series to an existing Stacked Bar Chart

Hi there,

I am trying to add additional series to a stacked bar
chart with a secondary y-axis; however, each time that I
add the new series information, the new (added) series
appears behind the old series and therefore is not
displayed properly on the chart.

For example:
% Correct % Incorrect # of Days
Agency A 40% 60% 3
Agency B 30% 70% 4
Agency C 20% 80% 5

When I chart this information, I choose the first 2
columns for the data in the stacked bar chart and then
when I try to add the '# of days' column as another
series, it does appear on the chart; however, it is in
behind the stacked bars and is not visible.

Any help is appreciated, thanks...
Peter

Peter -

You could add the # Days series as a line chart type instead (right
click the series after adding it, choose Chart Type from the pop up
menu, then select one of the Line types). Or you could add blank series
to prevent this overlapping, as described on this web page:
