I can get the chart wizard to reflect one "stack" reflecting columns B and C, but can't seem to figure out how to get two "stacks" side by side for each month that reflect the four data points I am trying to convey.

Thanks in advance for your help!

Excel Facts

What is the fastest way to copy a formula?
If A2:A50000 contain data. Enter a formula in B2. Select B2. Double-click the Fill Handle and Excel will shoot the formula down to B50000.
Another way is to make identically sized charts, make them transparent, and lay them on top of one another...
