Hi,
I am struggling to create a horizontal stacked bar chart on time series data. The data is something like this.
<TABLE style="WIDTH: 368pt; BORDER-COLLAPSE: collapse" cellSpacing=0 cellPadding=0 width=490 border=0 x:str><COLGROUP><COL style="WIDTH: 48pt" width=64><COL style="WIDTH: 81pt; mso-width-source: userset;

some points to note.
-Process A and A1 overlap hence these should be on two different bars.
-B starts after A1 and should be stacked after it.
-there are gaps between A1 end time and B start time this should appear on the chartas a gap (no color)
there are more systems and more process then whats mentioned here for which i need to plot a single chart.
the exercise is basically to show on a time scale when does each proces start and end. and how the A1,B series compares with A of each system x. hence it would look neat if the two bars of each system are placed next to each other.
I dont want to get into calculating the time difference and use those differences as values to indicate durations from a perticular start time, is there a simpler way to acheive this?
Would appreciate any help on how to go about it.
