Multiple bars on stacked chart

Hello ,

I need to display 3 year of data (pass vehicles, comm vehicles) on stacked chart.
so I need 3 bars for each quarter for 2014,2013 and 2012 and each bar should have pass vehicles count and comm vehicles count.

is this possible with stacked chart? what other options do I have to diplay all this data in one chart(I cannot go for combinational chart ) Please help!!

Er, why not just have twelve bars? That is, 2012-Q1, 2012-Q2, 2012-Q3, 2012-Q4, 2013-Q1, 2013-Q2, 2013-Q3, etc. You could even label them Q1-2012, Q1-2013, Q1-2014, etc., so that all the bars for a given quarter sort together.

I’m pretty sure that you can’t group the bars by quarter AND have stacked values within the bars.

Thank you Lugh, but Chart canvas is really small , so I cannot have 12 bars in the chart.

Hi,

You’ll need to use the concept of ‘Small Multiples’. Whereby you use small versions of the same chart next to each other

Charles,

good idea !!
but I cannot open the sample flash file you have provided, because I am on older verison of Xcelsius

Any how, My users had decided to show 1 year at a time .so I am good for now.

Thank you
