Question about Charts..
Hi,
I'm trying to build a chart that has 4 series in them, which is easy enough, except... Series 1 and 2 are to be expressed as custered columns, and series 3 & 4 are being listed as lines with markers, using the markers only (or scatter if thats better) The thing is, series 1 and 2 are showing side by side, which is great, that's what I want, but series 3 and 4 (the markers) are showing one on top of the other, and I want the markers to show inline with the columns. series 1 lining up with 3, and 2 with 4. Is there a way to do this? I have been trying a lot of different ways and I can't figure ot out.. Help please??? |

As far as I know, you would need to create this as two different charts.
Chart 1: Contains Series 1 as column and Series 3 as line overlay Chart 2: Contains Series 2 as column and Series 4 as line overlay Then in Chart 2, make everything apart from the columns and line invisible and position it in front of the Chart 1 content with a slight offset so the columns appear beside the Chart 1 columns.

It appears to me that you can't do it with overlay lines but perhaps you could do it with XY scatters as your overlay if you add more columns of data to give both the X and Y coordinates of the overlay info.
Alternatively, you might consider a different chart type to display the data. If it was me doing this, I would avoid the overlapping charts and try to do it with these two techniques. This is the look for each column/line overlay: Overlap Graphs in Excel - Actual v Plan/Target - YouTube And combine it with this methodology to get the second column and overlay sitting beside it Excel Column Chart | Replicating COVID-19 Overlapped Bar Chart - YouTube
