How do I set up a stacked chart with different series for each bar

I am trying to create a stacked chart for three different products (Product
A, B, C). Each product has three different values that make up the product's
cost (Cost A, B, C). The products need to be compared at different values.
So, compare total cost (based on sum of Cost A, B, C) of Product A, B, C at
$5. Then compare their total cost at $10. Then at $20. How do I do this
without having a separate X Value (5,10,20) for each bar? I want Products A,
B, C to have the same X Value of $5, without seeing $5 three different times.
Thank you.
 
Maybe you need to switch between By Rows and By Columns. That is found from
the Chart menu > Source Data > Data Range tab.

no, this doesn't help...I don't even know if it's possible to do what I'm
asking without using a macro, but by rows/by columns doesn't really mean
much. in this case. You know how when you do a normal bar chart, and there
are three different values for one x value? So, say, Prod A @ $5, Prod B @
$5, and Prod C @ $5 each have different values of output...then when you make
a normal bar chart, you will see Prod A, Prod B, and Prod C all for one value
of X ($5 in this case). The three bars will be centered over this one value
of X. Is this possible to do with a stacked chart?
