Stacked and Clustered Columns Excel - excel

I am trying to recreate the below chart in excel:
Below is the data I am using, it is the same data used to generate the chart.
I can't seem to get the desired output, the data stacks but does not separate into the asset classes as expected, an example of which is below:
Thank you for the help in advance.

This is the box & whisker version of your chart, with some minor editing after the conversion...

Creating Secondary Axis in Excel for a bar graph

I know this might be a very basic question for many of you, but I have been struggling with this basic issue.
I have a data of the following form:
I wish to have a secondary axis for the C row. I have been trying so hard to make it work and I I have tried the following:
Click on the bar graph box and choose Secondary Axis from the option, but the two columns end up overlapping and also it affects "all" the columns instead of just C column
I also tried defining the data set independently into a bar chart with a different names so that excel thinks they are "different" sets, but that does not work either
I only end up getting the following chart.
Any help would be really helpful! Thank You!

Waterfall chart issue

I'm trying to create waterfall chart with some values and everything is working fine except the positions of bar.
As per the requirements banking solutions bar should show above the ATM services. Unfortunately, I'm not sure how to do this because I'm getting dynamic chart.
I'm, completely new with this and any help will be appreciated. Thanks
It is the column total that you need to check.
Double-click a data point to open the Format Data Point task pane, and check the Set as total box.
Please view the image -
Waterfall charts are constructed with columns for increase, decrease and total. You can select which column should be a total. Please refer to the Microsoft Support article for Waterfall charts, and format your columns accordingly.

Pivot chart (Excel) fails to render the data the way I want

I'm creating a piece of Java code to fill data into an excel file. The file is pre-created, inlcuding a pivot chart and some vba code.
Though the java code works, I have some problems getting the pivot chart itself to work. I've included a screenshot with some demodata.
There are several Problems I'd like to solve:
The X-Achis seems to behave like a category-axis, though it is formatted as a date-axis.
Symptoms:
Dates are not ordered automatically, but only if I order the according column in the pivot-table
All dates have the same distance, though there is a gap of 1.5 years in the data
The chartline of cathy has a gap. But i do want the line rendered, even if there are dates without data for cathy
Am I using the wrong chart, did I miss the an important checkbox in the chart options or do I really have to interpolate the data programmatically for every day before filling it into the table?
The last option would be not only be disappointing, but also distort the chart since I want to have the datapoints marked with symbols (like the squares and diamonds on the screenshot)
Any help is appreciated.
Edit
By now this is my solution:
First of all: pivot charts are great, unless you want to visualize randomly ordered dates
I'm going to copy the pivot-data via vba into another sheet and use a regular chart
Gaps in the chartline can be avoided by using a point-diagram (X/Y-data) and selecting "connect datapoints with line" in the Dialog in "datasource > hidden and empty cells" (roughly translated from the german locale)
The vba-code will be extended to set up the diagram to my needs (adjusting range of input data and so on)
Still I'm kind of disappointed. I would have thought this was a usual usecase.
I set up trial workbook.
I based a line chart on a range of data that had a column of dates.
It was NOT pivot chart, just an ordinary one
When I went to the x-axis formatting options and chose "Date axis" I was presented with choices about how to span the dates out (to do what you want).
When I created a chart based on a pivot table using the same data, the x-axis formatting options did not give me the same choices
It would seem that pivot charts do not allow dates to be spanned out.
So you might like to consider basing your chart on a range of data not a pivot table.

Display simulated data in chart

I am wondering how I could chart the following data in a line chart in Excel:
In the chart below, 20 simulated data points NAV mo+1 are 20 possible values in the first month in the future (mo+1). The next set represents 20 simulated NAVs in the second month (mo+2).
The chart should look something like the one below:
Problem is my charts end up looking more like this:
Thanks for any input!
There are default structures for each chart as defined by Microsoft:

However this is not necessarily sufficient. Sometimes you better edit the data source and its mapping manually. This is described here:

Excel 2010 How to make multiple scatter charts from same data

Have a data set from which I need to make several scatter plots (date vs. value). Each charts is different, based on different filters. To make one chart, I can filter my data, and then chart it. But if I change the filter, the chart changes. So I can't make any more charts, unless I make a copy of the data. Is there a way to make multiple charts from the same data set without making a copy of the data set for each chart? Pivot table/charts won't help me because I am making scatter plots. I don't want to summarize anything by date, for instance. I could have multiple events on the same date, and I don't want excel grouping them together.
Have you tried using multiple data regions? See the following link: http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/dd220577.aspx
I found it very helpful.
You can also write a code in VBA that will allow you to create multiple charts using different data points. An example of this code can be found here: http://www.ozgrid.com/forum/showthread.php?t=53320
Good luck!
