    chart not showing proper data.... How do I make a chart

    Hi all,

    I am trying to eventually make a combination clustered/stacked bar chart. I think, in order to do this, I need to start with a regular bar chart and then edit. My problem at the moment is, when I select the data for my chart, it doesn't show up nicely like it does on youtube videos. If i go to another page in my worksheet and select data, it shows me a nice bar chart with all the titles and whatnot lined up nicely on the xy axes. When I select the data I actually want for the chart it clumps everything together. I will paste a tiny workbook for you to see, and maybe you can make sense of what is happening and enlighten me.

    On sheet one, I am trying to make a chart with the orange highlighted cells. Across the top, I need my DT hours. I will edit those to start from 0 and increment by quarter hours to a total of ten hours.
    Down the side, I need my equipment description, and equipment type.

    What I am trying to show is how long each piece of equipment is down based on a day.

    So Nov 1 - CR01 Elrus... - Crusher was down for 15 minutes
    Nov 1 - BC01- Conveyor was down for 15 minutes
    Nov 1 - Primary Grizzly - Feeder was down for 30 minutes

    I am going to eventually need my chart to only show the data of a specific date based on a drop down date list on a separate sheet.

    On sheet 2, there are 3 screenshots of what I actually need my chart to look like.

    So, I know what I need to do, but I literally have not the slightest idea of really where to start. Since where I started isn't even working for me.

    (sidenote, the small yellow cube on the end of the bars in the screenshots are a count. The Stacker bearing was down 1 time for 5 hours, the conveyor was down 1 time for an hour and a quarter on June 26, 2019)

    If anyone can read through my convoluted explanation and questions and come up with some ideas and help, I would be forever grateful.
