I have data similar to what is shown in the table below. I'd like to produce a combo chart with stacked columns and a line. Along the x-axis should be the class numbers. The stacked columns should show graduated (Yes, No, and N/A). The line should should the percentage of graduated equaling yes. I do not want lines for graduated equaling no or n/a. It has been a few years since I've done this sort of graph and for the life of me I can't recall how to do it. Any help will be appreciated.

Note: the formula grid above is not super dynamic, but you can create formulas that do what you ask, with the LET/HSTACK/VSTACK/FILTER/UNIQUE functions that are in Office 365. (if you have that).

Whoohoo! Thank you so very much. Step 5 was what I was missing. I didn't notice that the second button in Combo Charts had the "with Line on Secondary Axis". I was always using the first button and thinking I could choose the secondary axis for the needed fields later when changing the chart type. That was wrong, wrong, wrong. Once I selected the "Clustered Column Chart with Line on Secondary Axis" the rest was as I remembered. I can do it with dynamic formulas or a pivot table. To clean up the pivot table to not show lines for no and n/a percentages, plus tweaking the legend labels to look decent, takes just as much effort (if not more) as adding a new element to a summary table. So I'll probably go with your method, rather than a pivot table.

Thanks again for getting me past that forgotten little detail that was killing me! Much appreciated.
