    Bar Graph not working right

    I'm trying to organize a stacked bar graph but the graph is just not coming out right. I want the Part Numbers (OX2058, etc) on the bottom, with the chart organized as stacked bars for each part showing the estimated cost, actual cost, etc. The way it's coming out now it stacks all the estimated costs together, all the actual costs together, etc. Can anyone let me know what I'm doing wrong?

    Re: Bar Graph not working right -- super noob question

    If you are using the chart wizard, just change the series between columns to rows.

    Highlight A2:E5 >> Insert >> Charts >> Column >> 2 - D Stacked Column

    Now select the chart >> Design >> Data >> Switch Row/Column
