I did a stacked column chart, with years represented there instead of one of

accomplish even possible? I'm stuck on this format only because it's what's
been scribbled on a *** of paper and handed to me. I'm starting to think
I'll have to convince him another layout would be better...

It's amazing how many Excel chart problems start with "my boss really wants it this way..." :-)

What you're describing (years on the y-axis, months on the x-axis, dollars in the data label) is a table, just like the one you've written. Are you sure he was asking for a chart and not a table?

If a chart, please say what chart. Line, column, bubble? You can have a bubble chart--it'll look funny, but it may be just what your boss wanted. In fact, the one person you should be asking is your boss, who doesn't read this newsgroup.
