Making a Bar Graph from Unsual Data Layout in Excel - excel

I am trying make a bar graph of the data shown below. The x-axis should be "Years" and the y-axis, should be "INCOME," "SPENDING," and "TIPS." In my attempt below, it can be seen that "TIPS" are not following the correct "Year" input.
I created this graph be using the Graph Wizard in Excel.
Is there any way to fix this?
Thank you.

You can use PivotChart. Go to Insert -> Charts -> PivotChart

Can I make a timeline bar graph with two types of data in Excel?

I used the search function and could not find an answer for this.
I have data that looks like the following:
I would like one bar graph with the date on the x-axis and "Inches" on the y-axis, but I would like the color of the bar to change depending on the 'Type' of Y data. When I try to use the charts under the "insert" tab, this does not work. It makes one huge plot with all of the information crammed into the x-axis. I am fairly new to this sort of thing, however, and could be doing things wrong.
Any advice would be hugely appreciated. Please let me know if there is any information that I can add to make this question more helpful. Thanks in advance.
Edit: I am new to asking questions like this, if anything is done incorrectly, please let me know and I will try to fix it. Thanks so much for your patience.
If you organize your data into three columns: Date, Irrigation, and Precipitation.
Then from the Insert ribbon, select a 2D chart. The default chart settings produces a chart like this:

Display stacked x-axis text field hierarchy instead of drill down in Power BI

I'm new to Power BI & am sure there's a simple answer, like a setting or something...
Need to display all fields stacked in x-axis at once, instead of having to drill down through any layers. In excel pivot table it does this automatically (please click for pic)
But I'm struggling to figure this out in Power BI, seems like only date hierarchies display neatly, how can I show tidy hierarchies on the x-axis with text fields? (please click for pic)
Thanks very much in advance for your help!
Use this arrow in the upper right corner of every visual (chart)
To cancel concatenation of x-axis labels: Format/ X Axis / Concatenate labels OFF

How to show data label values in Cognos 11

I am using Cognos 11 to build a report. I am using a bar graph and I am trying to show actual values on top of each bar. Below is a picture of the graph I am trying to create. The writing in red is what I ultimately want to show for all bars.
I have tried everything but cant seem to find out how to do this. I think cognos 11 just may not support it. Any ideas or suggestions on how to show each bars values specific number in Cognos?
It depends on some factors:
What class of visualization are you using? (11.1, 11.0, legacy,
charts)
What kind of visualization is that? (I assume clustered
column)
Here are a couple examples to get you started.
For 11.1, clustered column:
Select the visualization.
Change the Show value labels property to Yes.
For charts, clustered column:
Select the visualization.
Click Select a chart object and select Bar.
Set the Show values properties by clicking on the ellipsis.

MS Excel not showing the x values of my data

screenshot
The x axis on the table is not showing the x-values I in my data.
I want the corresponding date for each point directly below it.
Excel (2007) has just added random dates.
Any idea how I can get the correct dates to be shown?
Under your chart tools, go "Layout -> Data Labels" and choose the one you're happy with. The option's right up there with your chart title, Axis, Legend options etc.
{sorry, just added a picture of the first thing open on my computer}

I inserted a graph matrix in my document but I cannot understand how to chang the kind of graph I want to see.

From the Shape drop-down list, select the shape to use to display graph elements in the visualization.
But I cannot find this Shape drop-down list.
my proprerty menu look like this:
By the way I dont want to change the kind of item shown in a graph (square, circle), I want to change the kind of graph (line chart, pie chart, scatter chart).
Are you looking for this option in the properties?
