Excel charts: revenue and margins over a time period
I think you need to declare the charts with Switch Row/Column to plot against year. I am also not convinced that there is much to be gained by stacking the column and line presentation within a single chart (see below). Two adjacent charts may well be clearer.

Thanks PeterBartholomew1 !
What I want to show company A, B and C as clustered columns with the yearly revenue over each period like I did in my first post (not sorting them by year as you did). I want to add to my chart three lines (one for each of the companies) that show the margin over the three years. So for company A I want a line above the three columns, showing three data points, starting in 2023 and ending in 2025. And for company B I want another line, starting in 2023 and ending in 2025 for that company, same as for company C. I do not want the lines to be connected across the companies, as mine are now.
I basically want a dotted line for 2023, 2024 and 2025 to be connected, not a dotted line for 2023 to be connected across the three companies.
Appreciate any help and realise I might not explain so it's easy for you to understand.
Have a nice day!
Best regards,
Kris
