    Multiple groups in X axis

    Hi,

    I'd like to show several sub-groups of data in the same stacked bar chart, with a heading for each group, like this:

    Group 1
    Category 1 |----|--------|-----|
    Category 2 |--|-------|-|
    Category 3 |----|----|------|
    Group 2
    Category 4 |------|-------|----|
    Category 5 |---|-----|------|
    Group 3
    Category 6 |------|---|------|

    How can I do that?

    I'd like to show all sub-groups in the same chart, since they belong to the same main group and have the same kind Y axis values.

    Thanks!

    Hi oldchippy,

    Thanks for your reply. From what I understand from that link I'm not sure I can accomplish what I'm after.

    It seems like on that page there is one style for each series. But I have all four series in each stack (not sure I use the right words in English, since I use Excel in Swedish). So I'm not sure how I can split the chart up into three sub-charts.

    I have attached an example with a chart and its source data. As you can see from there there are three sub-categories in the chart, but the category headers show up as rows just like the rest.

    I haven't worked much with charts in Excel and couldn't figure out a way to do this from what I read in the page of that link....

    Could you use this one, but change the chart type from a Vertical to a Bar?

    Hi,

    perhaps the attached might help :added, but you need to reduce C2 C9 & C13 down to 30, I was trying to accomodate the width of the second groupname, to no avail.
