Hi,

I'm loking for a way to display a graph with stacked bars or lines, where the series are NOT added (similar to Microsoft Excel).

This message has been edited. Last edited by: Kerry,

Only options are either an absolute line graph type 48 or an absolute area graph type 31 .

There is not a bar version.

I just recognized that my question was wrong.
It should be like this:

I want a graph with stacked bars.
The series shall be added (like AGA does).

But:
AGA addes the display values (labels?) of each series.

I want to display the "original" labels.

E.g.:

My original series is
A: 1
B: 5
C: 10

AGA display the following values:
A: 1
B: 6
C: 16

and I want to display the Original values.

Stefan

That is the default behavior

You need setStackedDataValueSum(false);

In the AGA this can be set in the chart editor

Chart Objects/Chart/Data Labels

Change the value of "Show cumulative sums" to No

JG,

that's great and works fine. Sometimes life can be so easy. Thank you.

Now I have still one issue left:

I've got my bar
A: 1
B: 5
C: 10

showing each value correct.

Above each bar, I would like to diplays the sum of the single values of each bar.

I tried

setDisplay(getDataTextStackedTotalOnTop(),true)

like in these post,
but it doesn't work.

I would really appreciate any ideas.

Kind regards,

Stefan,

I got this technique from a Summit 2009 presentation and had actually presented part of it at a monthly consulting session I did. I learned a lot from going through the presentation.

What I did was make a series out of the total value and held it along with the other values. It became series 3 in the example. I turned off the background color and border color for this series. I did this all in the Advanced Graph Assistant.

You will probably need to use custom placement for the series values but hopefully this will give you some ideas for solving your problem:
