I want to diplay 5 rows of data on one chart.

3 of the rows I want stacked on the same bar (3 different status of one
product-so want the total as combination)

2 other single bars.

Paul -

Arrange your data like this with more appropriate labels than I've used
(view in Courier):

Position 1 Position 2 Position 3
Series 1 [value]
Series 2 [value]
Series 3 [value]
Series 4 [value]
Series 5 [value]

Select the entire range (including "Position" row and "Series" column)
and create a stacked column chart with series in rows.

Series 1, 2, and 3 will be stacked in the first position along the
category axis, while series 4 and 5 will be unstacked in the next two
positions. Actually they all are stacked, but the zero values don't show up.

John,

Many thanks for the solution. All the data is imbedded in an existing table,
but I will be able to create a hidden table referencing as you sugested.

Many thanks for this help.

Regards,

Paul
