Pivot Table / Slicer / Charts

Hi

I have a spreadsheet that maps hours against what we have charged on a monthly basis and YTD.

So first column is the client
Second is Jan Charged
Third is Jan Hours
Fourth is Feb Charged
Fifth is Feb Hours

etc etc

I'm trying to produce a combo chart with Jan Charged on on axis as a column chart and hours as a line chart -

Is my data set up incorrectly?

Also would love to have this as a pivot chart and be able to choose a month as a filter, but this doesn't seem to work. Help please!!

Thanks

Kind regards

Sheryl

RE: Pivot Table / Slicer / Charts

Hi Sheryl

You should be able to create a combination chart from your data.

Step 1 - Highlight the client names, Jan Charged and Jan Hours data and create a column chart.

Step 2 - Click the Format tab and select the Jan Hours series from the naavigator at top left of Format tab.

Step 3 - Change the second series to line chart and secondary axis (see attached screenshot).

You will need to copy the chart for next month and change the data range etc.

To be able to filter by month you will have to rearrange the sheet quite a bit. Have headings called Client, Month, Charged, Hours.

Hope that helps for now.
