Currently I have a grouped bar chart with a value on the y-axis (total guest nights in an area), and the months on the x-axis.
I have 2 series as of now: 2020 and 2019 - they are quite close to each other for each months so that you see that these relate to one another.
NOW I wanted to break each of these series into a more detailed aggregate.
The total guest nights each bar represent I now want the bar to aggregate the value for each market - whether domestic or abroad (so 2 components should now constitute the earlier total sum)
My idea doing this was (which I know work if I had just 1 year - e.g. 2019), is to put the e.g. abroad as the total amount and the domestic as domestic - then just use 100% series overlap.
BUT if I do this now - of course this happens to both my series related to e.g. 2019 but also for 2020 (which I do not want)..
I tried making use of the secondary y-axis for the 2020 series - but that didn't help at all - Excel still relate series overlap (on the x-axis) the same regardless of me making use of the 2nd-y-axis.
Do you understand my question?
I essence I want a stacked bar chart for 2 series (or in practicality 4).
Thanks!

Referring Question: MS Excel Scatterplot converts Months to Numbers
I created scatterplot in month_unordered_axis.xlsx from following data
Then I customized X-axis so it displays only month
Unfortunately the scatterplot (in Chart1 of month_unordered_axis.xlsx) starts with October rather than January.
How to order the X-axis so it displays from January to December?
Your graph is displaying October as the minimum value from its automatic formatting of max/min values. i believe if you scroll up in that formatting window on the right while you have the X-axis selected you will see an option for min and max value. You could set this for the minimum value you in your graph to 36892. This corresponds to the integer value for you lowest date in your series. The unfortunate side effect is that half your circle will be cut off as it extends into the range that is less than your minimum value. You can also set your maximum date to 37256. There are a few other end numbers you can use to give the same results but its essentially the end of December start of January the following year that allow December to be displayed.
Now if you want every month to be displayed (which is independent of placing max min values on your graph), look for the UNITS and Major box. Since you will want ever major line displayed with the name of a month, you will need to make sure the next grid line is a month away. Since not all month are not equal in length you need to play with this number a bit to suit your needs. I started with 30 and wound up with 2 Januaries back to back. However bump it up to 31 and then it tips over into the next month.
The important thing to note here is that you are not actually graphing by months along the X-axis. You are actually plotting by the number of days since January 1st 1900. so January 1st 2001 is 36892 days since January 1st 1900. What excel is doing is counting those days, determine what the date is in a way we like to read it and displaying only the portion we want it to. So for mmmm it the full spelling of the month. And you can see why each grid line being 31 days away is needed to jump into the next month. The kicker is, the grid line is not necessarily the 1st of each month due to the over stepping that is done when you advance 31 days in a month that has 28, 29, or 30 days. and that error gets compounded through the year.
Try using 32 as theMajor Unit step first before putting min and max caps on. (31 resulted in Feb being skipped on my screen). You should still see your axis start before Jan, but your months should all be in order, all displayed and no circles being cut off. Adding the max and min to the axis will cut off your circles but limit the axis to only displaying 12 months.
I have data that looks as shown below
The blue line is for 2016 and the orange line is for 2017.
The X-Axis represents Days which are equivalent days between years. So for example day 20 might be 5/1/17 (for the 2017 year) and 5/2/16 (for the 2016 year).
The Y-Axis is the number of hours enrolled and each day it increases until around day 130 when the registration system closes.
I have historical data for 5 years but I want to make a forecast where the 2017 curve takes the same shape as the previous year's curve.
I have tried the Forecasting tool in Excel 2016 in two ways:
1. Forecast just on the 2017 data - not correct because it has no way to take the shape of historical data into account.
2. I lined up 2016 and 2017 in the same column then did the forecast but it was still completely wrong.
I tried also charting the curves and using linear, logistic, polynomial but none of thse approximate my actual curve.
I have a problem in Excel 2013 Grouping option. I have created dates and number of tickets created for over a period of time (3 years). I group data on Days to get weekly report. Upon grouping, I see that for some week there is no data. So I want it to appear as "Zero" for that week. But what I see is that week does not appear in the grouped data list.
This is what I am trying to explain - I have selected May 2014 as Created Month and I have daily data hence have grouped it as Days. But you can see that 5/12/2014 - 5/18/2014 and 5/19/2014 - 5/25/2014 is missing. I know they have no value but I want it to appear as zero so that my graph appears correct.
4/28/2014 - 5/4/2014 4
5/5/2014 - 5/11/2014 9
5/26/2014 - 6/1/2014 1
Make sure you have no gaps in your date ranges.
I'm trying to create a chart that contains the percentage of Paid Time Off (PTO) that people have used for the calendar year. Each person is on a specific team, so I would like to group the bars per team, but still display everyone's name. Is this possible? I have 4 teams total.
Example Data:
Employee Name Employee Team % PTO Take for Year
Person 1 Team 1 .2
Person 2 Team 1 .35
Person 3 Team 1 .6
Person 4 Team 2 .15
Person 5 Team 2 .3
The x-axis is 0% - 100% and the y-axis should be everyone's name, but grouped by team. Something like this:
Thank you!
Here's two ways to achieve similar result. You have to prepare the data a bit differently, but it's quite easy to generate this kind of a chart then.
The first way is to separate the teams into different series by separating the team values into different columns. This automatically colours the different teams in a different colour:
The second way uses multilevel categories to achieve a similar result. It's a bit easier to prepare the data based on your current data. But you would have to manually colour the teams with different colours:
I used random to generate the data so chart don't have the same values. I also used reverse axis on both charts and added a blank line between the teams to separate them a bit more. Both are simple clustered bar chart (overlap to 100 and 0 gaps), but make sure that you select the whole range of data, as shown on the first picture or excel will plot only a part of the data.
In Mac Excel 2011 I have a Scrum burndown chart that tracks the number of points ‘burnt’ per day (starting from say 100, hopefully burning down to 0).
The number of points per day is made up of a sum of X number of columns (tasks).
I then have a marked line graph which takes it’s Y value data from the summed points per day.
My issue is that the marked line graph will always display 5 work days worth of burn, even though we might be on Tuesday.
I need a solution that means I don’t have to manually update the graph y value each day (adding it), instead the graph knows it is Wednesday, and selects data up to Wednesday.
Do you want to show the days for the whole week? (probably, since a 1 or 2 day chart early in the week will look funny.) Are the Y values linked from another cell?
If so, change your links from
=A1
to
=IF(LEN(A1)=0,NA(),A1)
NA() produces #N/A in the cell, which isn't plotted.
