Can I combine a stacked and clustered column chart in Excel
I would like to have two columns on the same chart. One will be the amount
of good parts produced by a machine. The other would be a stacked column of scrap parts produced by the machine. The scrap parts are seperated by certain defects, but I'd like to see their total compared to the total of good parts. |

a sort of sneaky way to do it is to set all of the data up with a blank cell
between the machine data indicators. make a stacked chart of all of the data including the good parts. select the good part section and change the axis to secodary axis. then goto chartsource dataseries and change the range for the good parts up or down one cell to move it on the chart. This will allow you to have different scales for the good and bad parts. If you want then to have the same scales another way to do it would be, if your data is in columns to alternate the good data in one column and all of the other data in the next column. Then just mnaking a stacked column chart would do what you want. "Tim Donnelly" wrote: I would like to have two columns on the same chart. One will be the amount of good parts produced by a machine.

Can I combine a stacked and clustered column chart in Excel
I've got a similar problem. I'm graphing renewable water production versus
consumption in a building. We have 4 different sources of production and 1 source of consumption. I'd like to have a chart comparing production and consumption each month with the production column broken down by each source. I've tried the trick you mentioned, but the column for the water consumption always apears overlapping the production column. I tried setting my production range to numerals for each month (1=jan, etc...) and setting the consumption to half numerals (1.5=jan, etc...) but the consumption column still overlaps the production column. Also, I'm using Office 2007, so try to respond using 2007 steps.

Can I combine a stacked and clustered column chart in Excel
I've written a tutorial on this type of chart:
Clustered-Stacked Column Charts - http://peltiertech.com/WordPress/clu...column-charts/ The tutorial was based on Excel 2003, but the steps in 2007 are not different, just the places you have to hunt to find the commands are. In the comments I spelled out the protocol for 2007. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://peltiertech.com/ adamtaylor356 wrote: I've got a similar problem.

Can I combine a stacked and clustered column chart in Excel
That tutorial was exactly what I needed. I've seen other replies directing
people to your cluster-stacked utility, but (no offense) I'm not going to spend money on a utility I'm only going to use this one time on this one report. Thanks for the tutorial though. It helped a lot.

Adam -
The utility is for people who can't be bothered to follow a tutorial, or who have many charts to do. The tutorial is for industrious folks who don't mind a challenge. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier Peltier Technical Services, Inc. http://peltiertech.com/ adamtaylor356 wrote: That tutorial was exactly what I needed.
