charts, cubes, text problems
Hello
I am wanting to create a stacked chart (2 stacks) with a trendline (seperate figures), but it won't allow me to do that. I can only create a normal chart (ie. not stacked) with a trendline. Is there a way to do this in powerpoint / excel? Any suggestions? I need your help urgently. Thanks |

Siobhan -
The problem is that Excel doesn't think you want a trendline of something that depends on more than one series, since the variations are lumped together. But you can fake it: Add the data in the worksheet, to get the stacked values, and plot these as regular unstacked series. a b a+b 1 2 1 3 2 3 2 5 3 4 3 7 4 5 4 9 5 6 5 11 Instead of plotting "a" and "b" as stacked series, plot "a" and "a+b" as unstacked series. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP http://www.geocities.com/jonpeltier/Excel/index.html _______ siobhan wrote: Hello I am wanting to create a stacked chart (2 stacks) with a trendline (seperate figures), but it won't allow me to do that.
