Default 1 Bar, 2 Line Combination Chart Nightmare - Help!!

Morning,

I have been asked to change a current simple combination chart into a more
complicated one and I'm stuck - big time.

I have 3 series:

1. Cumulative Spend
2. Cumulative Percentage
3. Previous Years Percentage.

I want to have Series 1 as a bar and Series 2 & 3 as lines. I cannot work
this whatsoever. Can anyone help? Please!!!!

Ignore the built-in custom types. Make a line chart with all three sets of
data. Select the chart series you want to change, go to Chart menu Chart
Type, and select a Column style.
