Are you struggling to create a chart from annual or monthly data, and make the results easy to understand? An Excel cluster stack chart would be perfect, but you can't figure out how to create one.

For example, this table shows 2 years of data for seasonal meat production, in thousands of tonnes.

Excel's Built-In Chart Types

Using Excel's built-in chart types, you can create a clustered column chart:

Or you can create a stacked column chart:

There's No Excel Cluster Stack Chart

The Stacked Column chart is okay, but it doesn’t let you compare the years and the seasons. Ideally, the chart should keep the Stacked Column chart, but with the years clustered, or the seasons clustered -- combining the features of the clustered column and the stacked column, to create a cluster stack chart.

Excel doesn’t have a Cluster Stack chart type, but you can create your own version, by carefully rearranging your data. It will take some time and patience, and you can find the cluster stack chart instructions on my blog.
