    2 category fields chart

    I have a chart with 2 category fields dropped into the x axis (Year and Time).
    In the layout view below the x axis of chart is:
    |______________ Group 1_____________________| on left and
    |______________ Group 2_____________________| on right.

    Similar to chart on:
    http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa964128.aspx

    This is how I need to display, i.e. Year 1 data to left
    and Year 2 data to right both sharing same Y axis.
    But when I preview the data Group 1 (2007) is on one chart
    and Group 2 (2008) is on a seperate chart.
    Anyone know what I've done wrong?

    Quick Question ...

    I know this might sound weird, but are you using the same Chart data region for each year? If so, is the chart perhaps overflowing the page, and, therefore, reproducing itself on a second rendition of the same data region?

    Get back to me here, and I'm sure we can get you past this one ...

    HTH,

    I managed to find the solution. I had the chart area inside a list, once I moved it out it behaved as it should.

    Cheers

    I Appreciate the Feedback ...

    Many thanks for getting back - both on the fact that the "case is closed," and on the actual cause of the issue. When we, as correspondents, complete entries with real answers like this, it makes the entry useful to others that find it in searches, and who might have similar needs.

    It's people like you that make it work!

    Bill
