I'm trying to create chart where columns are side by side by one of the
columns is stacked.  I utilized the information found in Column Chart with a
difference but some information is missing.  I was able to get the stacked
column but the information for the second column is not there.  What did I do
wrong.

Example:
                                             Jan           Feb          Mar
Discharges                              60             55            20

(Stacked info)
FS                                         45              44           29
C&FC                                      6              12             9
Other                                      0                0             1

Don't put your Discharges in the same Excel spreadsheet column as your
stacked info, but put it in a column one cell to the left or right.

Like this:

                          Jan             Feb            Mar
              Discharges  60              55             20
(Stacked info) FS                45             44             29
              C&FC              6              12             9
              Other             0              0              1

If you're having problems reading the text, try it this way:

           Jan  Jan  Feb  Feb  Mar  Mar
Discharges  60   0    55   0    20   0
FS          0    45   0    44   0    29
C&FC        0    6    0    12   0    9
Other       0    0    0    0    0    1

It's just the same layout with a lot of extra zeroes and Month headings
filled in, but it may solve your confusion.
