			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>A really good tutorial can be found <a title="Clustered-stacked column charts" href="http://peltiertech.com/WordPress/clustered-stacked-column-charts/" target="_blank">here</a> on how to create &#8220;clustered-stacked column charts&#8221;. It works very well in Excel 2007 also. The result looks something like this:</p>
<div id="attachment_24" class="wp-caption alignnone" style="width: 219px"><a href="http://ohsomodern.org/work/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/clusteredChart.png"><img class="size-full wp-image-24" title="clusteredChart" src="http://ohsomodern.org/work/wp-content/uploads/2010/05/clusteredChart.png" alt="" width="209" height="500" /></a><p class="wp-caption-text">Clustered-stacked column chart</p></div>
<p>It took me a while to find how to accomplish this, I googled different variations of &#8220;Excel 2007 series values&#8221; minus, negative, stacked, &#8220;excel 2007 axis scale&#8221;, &#8220;same secondary scale&#8221;, &#8220;negative bar color&#8221;. I even attempted scripting it, but with no luck.</p>
<p>This chart is used to illustrate why a company is not necessarily profitable, despite that it looks that way first. The profits exceed the costs at a first look (above the zero), but adding costs for personnell and operating expenses, the actual result is negative, as seen above where the multi-colored bar (expense types) is longer than the blue (income).</p>
