Create Stacked Bar Chart/Graph
May 29, 2008
I need to plot a stacked chart. I have attached a sample of it. I need to plot, category As X and subcategory and and its percentage as Y (stacked chart). In the attached sample I plotted a chart. The problem is, the series name showing is not correct. It takes the series name from the top row.

I have a spreadsheet created in Excel 2003 (which is what we use at work, unfortunately).
My employees periodically take a test to ensure they have certain items memorized (or are making progress to that end). The spreadsheet rows show all 46 of my employees, and their test scores. The columns are the dates that the tests are administered. I can create a line graph based on the chart data, and interpolate these data with no problems.
The problem is that there are 46 employees! 46 lines on the same graph make for a very cluttered, hard to understand visual. I want to simplify the view by "filtering out" some of the data.
I have an additional column in my spreadsheet for each employee's work area (Area 1, Area 2, etc), and another column with data based on first letter of last name (the values here could be "A-G", "H-M", "N-S" and "T-Z", for example). I figure i could filter my line graph based on these two columns. For example, somehow select just Area 1, and reduce the number of lines on the graph to 16. Or better yet, Choose "Area 2" AND "A-M" and end up with 7 employees (and therefore 7 lines on the graph).
Here's what i have tried:
1) Select the work area column, and use the Filter, which created a drop-down list at the column heading. When i use this drop-down list, i can easily filter the data in the worksheet by Work Area, but this is not reflected in the line graph, which still shows all 46 lines. The problem was that i forgot that i had set the Calculation Options to "Manual". Setting this to "Automatic" (or leaving it on Manual and pressing F9) solved the problem, as the chart now updates when i use the filters. Calculation options are under the "Formula" tab in 2007, or in Tools -> Options -> [either calculation or formula, i forget what it's called] in 2003.
2) Create several separate line graphs in several separate sheets. I wouldn't want to assign someone else the task of maintaining a spreadsheet of such inefficient design.

Can I build/present a "Pie" chart DIRECTLY from a list of "ABC" letters WITHOUT counting the occurrence of each one of them and using the results [nor VBA / nor Pivot-Table] - which is the trivial way of building charts !?
An example of such a list will be:

I wish to plot a Stacked column graph of dates work is completed. Several peoples names along the bottom and dates up the side. The stack shall be broken into 6 steps, each step denoted by the date it was completed.
I would also like a marker at the top of each stack indicating the deadline date.
I'm working from a large table of dates.

how to create a stacked bar & line graph together.
I know by default, I can choose to have a stacked bar, OR a line graph, OR a basic bar & line graph.
But I need to take a step further and have a stacked bar WITH a line graph.
options in which I could combine the above graphs?

We are trying to create a stacked bar graph with an average line. Each time we try to add in the average data to the graph it adds it to the stacked bar. The stacked bar should represent the inpatient & outpatient cases at a hospital for the current year (months showing across the as columns). The line should represent the previous 2-yr average total. Anyone have an idea how to add a line to the stacked bar graph? It has us stumped.

So on a primary 'y' axis against I have plotted some stacked clusters (3 categories, each with 2 columns and 2 stacks) and now I want to add a percentage line on a secondary 'y' axis to show the % rates for each category.
How do I plot them? I don't want to use Jon Peltiers utility, as I already have it, but still don't know how to use it to achieve the view.

I would like to make a graph in Excel, where I present both a stacked column and a line with two different axes. Including a clustered column and a line in the same graph with two different axes is easy, as this combination can be found in the custom types selection in the chart wizard. However, there is no such alternative as a stacked column and a line with two different axes. Is combining the two manually possible?

I am trying to overlay a line chart on top of a stacked column chart. The stacked column chart is a chart where the x axis is dates and the y axis is amount. The line chart is a projected amount that I will reach in few years; the x axis is the date while the y axis is an amount. I can get a chart that has a line and stacked columns, but ever time, the dates get messed up. The line has an extremely wide date range while the columns only have about a month of data.

I have a two bar chart (red and blue) I'm trying to turn into a stacked chart. It has total cars and broken cars. There are a 100 total cars (10 broken). But when I stack them, it shows 110 total cars (it's adding instead of merging them). Once stacked, there should still be 100 total cars....but the tip of it should be red to show what amount is broken. It's adding the two together but it shouldn't....the number of broken cars is still part of the total.

I am trying to define a chart of TWO Stacked Bars. (it will be a little difficult for me, with my bad English, to explain – but I'm sure you will understand. My target is a chart as shown in the embedded picture. Take a look at sheet1:
This is a 75% completed chart. I managed to present the first 2 stacked bars. (light & dark green). Then I added a blank column ("D") and declared it as a "bar" on the 2nd. Y Axis. (This "D" series has now two values, of 5, which must be "Zeroed" when the chart is finished).
I managed to add the first part of the 2nd. Stacked bars. (Orange) I played a little with the Width and Overlap – and got the result shown in Sheet1. (When The "two fives" will change into 0 - the two orange bars will start from the X-Axis (Zero "Y" level)/ So far so good.
What I need now is to add the last Series (F2:F9) to be put ON TOP of the Orange Bar – but without success. If you'll take a look at Sheet2 you will see what I came up with. I DO NOT want them to be inside each other. I want them as in the embedded picture (side by side). In addition – I would love to present the Labels: Newspaper, Internet, Relevant, Non-Relv. Inside the chart (if possible)

I am trying to develop a dynamic stacked bar chart, I have a consistent number of columns defining the x axis and a variable number of rows defining the y axis (the stacked data). Is it possible to generate a dynamic stacked chart. I have tried using dynamic named ranges but I can't get it to work for a stacked chart.

i have a chart made but it will only read numbers what i looking for it to do is read cells filled. beacuse none of the cells will have numbers in them. example column I,J,K,L will have a letters in them. starting on row 2 on down till the end. what i'm looking for is if I2 has a letter in it it will read as one for the chart. and will ignore the other columns if K7 has a letter it will read as one and ignore the rest of the columns. this will go on till the end of the sheet. and all rows with nothing in them will be ignored. is this posable?
i think it is bacisly giving a value to a letter and having the chart inturpat that value as 1 and then adding them up. if posable i just thought of maybe the letter could be turned into a date to give an ongoing graph for the info. maybe thats the wisest thing to do to show what each day looks like. hmm i have to play around with it. just typing this out i think i figured a way to do it.

I would like to display 50 sequences, S_1 ..S_50, with stacked bars. Every sequence can contain 5 different events, E_1 .. E_5, in a random order. Every event has a certain duration, t. Lets say the first two sequences are as follows (duration time is in brackets)
S_1:
E_3(200), E_1(150), E_2(300), E_4(500), E_5(300)
S_2:
E_1(200), E_4(150), E_1(300), E_5(500), E_2(300), E_2(300)
...
How do I get Excel to display all Sequences in one graph as a function of time, with the bar-stack-color displaying the kind of event. So if E_3 would be red and E_1 blue we would see
S_1:
red, blue ...
S_2:

I need to create a chart showing a timeline from 0 hours to 100 hours. In this timeline, there has to be 8 seperate segments - ie, phase 1, phase 2, phase 3, phase 4, phase 5, phase 6, phase 7, phase 8. Each phase takes a certain amount of hours (the number of hours of each phase is irrelevant for now!).
how to format this data and then how to display such a chart? I need the timeline along the X axis.

I have created a Power Pivot Chart with Stacked Column chart. Made one axis as Secondary Axis and the axis is Clustered Column, but it is overlapped with Stacked bars.
Is there any easy way to solve this issue, apart from creating 2 dummy columns and making it work.

I just can't seem to figure it out.

Would like to add totals to stacked column chart in Excel 2007.
I have followed same steps listed here [url] but cannot position data labels above column.
Excel only gives me the options Center, Inside End, and Inside Base.
I also tried setting label position with VBA:
For Each co In ChartObjects
For Each s In co.Chart.SeriesCollection
If s. Name = "Totals" Then
For Each dl In s.DataLabels
dl.Position = xlLabelPositionOutsideEnd
Next dl
End If
Next s
Next co
Also tried the following without luck:
dl.Position = xlLabelPositionAbove
For each VBA example I get following error:
Run-time error '-2147467259 (80004005)':
Automation error
Unspecified error
It seems like Microsoft has removed this positioning option for stacked column charts because it works fine for normal column charts. Anyone find a way to do this otherwise?
