Default Stacked, but not total

Greetings all,
I have 3 Totals.

Total 1: 92
Total 2: 87
Total 3 (an overall total which includes total 1 and 2, but other amounts):
877

I would like stacked column to show totals 1 and 2 and show total 3, but not
adding it to totals 1 and 2 (to show the overall amount, with 1 and 2 inside
it). Any ideas?

Thanks
-B

Start with a stacked column. Move "Total 1" to a secondary axis, then "Total
2". Note that you may need to right click on one of these series, and pick
chart type - stacked again. Right-click on chart, chart options. On the axes
tab, activate the secondary x-axis, deactivate the y-axis. Voila!

Note that you could increase the gap width of Total 1 and 2 to cause the
larger "overall" total to fully surroud the data, perhaps giving a clearer
idea of what's being presented.
