Add multiple categories to horizontal axis in chart

[Tango]

Hi,
I am working on a staff sales chart & that compares 2 years worth of data on
a month by month basis for 4 staff.

I was wondering how I could have 2 categories on the horizontal axis of the
chart.
ie staff names & also month

eg Staff A Staff B Staff C Staff D Staff A Staff B Staff C Staff D
January February


Thanks in advance

The easiest way to do this is by letting Excel do "heavy lifting."

If your data are not in relational form, re-arrange them. The result should
be something like:
Month Staff_ID Sales_Value
with 1 row per salesperson-month combination.

This lets you leverage all the tools developed for use with relational tables.

Now, create a PivotTable & PivotChart with the above table as the source.

Put the Month as the 1st (outermost) row field and the Sales_ID as the 2nd
(inner) row field. Put the Sales_Value as the Data field.
