there are 12 series.

what I did was to add another column “Height”, and estimate where the dot should go, on the same scale. it somehow worked, but the problem remains as I cannot show the headcount info.

How many bars in a series? Call it NThe secondary (XY chart) value axis, the vertical one at the right of the chart, should scale from zero to N. The values should go from 0.5 to N – 0.5. Make sure these values are sorted in the same sense as in my example above.

once again, thanks for being there !

and once again, I feel sooo dumb…… here’s my problem:

I have 3 columns: Office, Revenue (full figures) and headcount.

I was trying to follow your instructions to create the horizontal bars chart, showing the max revenue at the top.

then I wanted to create a line with the headcounts, but you’ve lost me with the Height column.

Any suggestions?

Thanks ind advance !

For displaying such target-actual data, your Overapping Bar Chart seems like a more intuitive design, plus is easier to create. Just put the target data in back with the wider bars, of course, to provide the bullet chart lite effect.
