Hello
I am wanting to create a stacked chart (2 stacks) with a
trendline (seperate figures), but it won't allow me to do
that. I can only create a normal chart (ie. not stacked)
with a trendline. Is there a way to do this in
powerpoint / excel?
Any suggestions? I need your help urgently.
Thanks
 
Siobhan -

The problem is that Excel doesn't think you want a trendline of
something that depends on more than one series, since the variations are
lumped together. But you can fake it:

Add the data in the worksheet, to get the stacked values, and plot these
as regular unstacked series.

a b a+b
1 2 1 3
2 3 2 5
3 4 3 7
4 5 4 9
5 6 5 11

Instead of plotting "a" and "b" as stacked series, plot "a" and "a+b" as
unstacked series.
