Compare Two Values Side by Side in Bar Chart

[berryjohn]

Hi,

I have two tables like below.

Table 1 (Target Sales):

Year       Target Sales Points

  1          1000

  2           800

  3           800

  4           700

  5           700

Table 2 (Actual Sales):

Sales Person ID    Year    Actual Sales Points

  1                         1       800

  1                         2      300

  2                         1       1050

  2                         2       850

  2                         3       800

  .

  .

  .

Now I need to compare Actual Sales against Target Sales for the selected Sales Person in a column / bar chart.

I added Year from table 1 on axis and Target Sales on values for a column / bar chart. When I add the Actual Sales Point from table 2, it is getting summed up(For example, for rep 1, it is summed up as 1100) and showing the same value for all 5 years.

I want to show the actual for each year against target sales points and in case if the actual does not exist for any of the 5 years, it should show blank. Please guide me to achieve this.

Hi @berryjohn,

Have you tried the solution provided by @Greg_Deckler above? Does it work in your scenario? If it works, could you accept it as solution to close this thread?

If you still have any question on this issue, feel free to post here.

You need a common axis, so either you are missing a relationship between your Year columns or you need to create a separate Year table and relate it to both of your tables. Then use that common Year for your axis.
