Data markers in a stacked chart will not sit side by side by month

[Guest]

How can I get the monthly columns (ie: July Actual & July Budget) in a
stacked chart to sit side by side with a space before the next month (August
Actual & August Budget) and so on for each month.

Do you want to unstack the chart to convert it to a clustered chart?
Chart menu > Chart Type > select a clustered column subtype that you like.

Are you trying to cluster stacks of columns? Here are some links:

Jon,
No, they want them stacked to show non-operating profit and then operating
profit on top so you can add them both to get the total profit and then he
wants to see the budget write beside for the month.

The links you listed showed a double column stack by month which is what I
was looking for.

Thank you greatly!
