Any way to have bars behind other bars in a chart visual?

Supposing the following dataset (representing average response times for a web site in certain time periods)

If displayed as a clustered column chart it appears as follows

 

 

If displayed as a stacked column chart it appears as

 

 

This is closer to the effect that I want but I want the bars stacked "behind" each other rather than on top of each other so the labels on the Y axis correlate with the percentile value.

 

If I pre-massage the data so that the 90th and 95th percentiles are calculated as the diff from the previous percentile as below...

... then I get the visual effect that I want. The 95th percentile in the right hand column is aligned with 49. But now the tooltip functionality doesn't work as desired. Mousing over that segment shows a value of 18 rather than 49.

 

 

Is there any way that I can get the visual effect of the last attempt without having to fiddle the data - so the tooltips still show the correct information?

@martin_smith,

 

You may try to add calculated columns to specify additional data points that display as part of the tooltip.
