Hi Jon…I am trying to make a stacked bar chart..where there is only one bar for each month and then the month is divided up by categories (different colors)..
for example, I have 120 orders in the month of this 80 are on-time; 30 are late and 10 are shipped wrong..then I would like to be able to have this type of bar chart for the entire year..much the same as these categories and probably more ..
I am unsure how to format the data too..thanks so much for your help!

Adam -

First, make sure the axis with dates is formatted as a text axis (not a date axis or the default).

Then go up to the subheading that I’ve just inserted, “Important – Axis Label Alignment”, and check the positioning of the crossing axes.
