13.4 Making Stacked Bar Graphs

   

You make Stacked Bar and Line graphs just like Bar and Line graphs, but the Y values from previous data sets are accumulated into the Y values of the data set currently being plotted. Thus, the bars in a Stacked Bar graph will appear to be stacked upon each other. This is most easily seen with an example:

Enter the following data into the new NExS spreadsheet:

1 1 1
2 2 1
3 3 1
4 4 1
5 5 1
6 6 1
7 7 1

Select the range . The columns will now be highlighted. Select New Graph from the Graph menu and display its submenu. Select Stacked Graph from the New Graph submenu. NExS displays a window containing the Stacked Bar graph shown in Figure 13.8.
