Hi

I have a problem when making a stacked bar graph. The series (see attached workfile) in the group include both negative and positive values.

If i make a stacked bar graph, the graph does not show the correct values. see graph01 and group .

However, if i first make a single bar graph with data contracted by e.g., mean, and then afterwards I create a stacked bar graph, I get the desired result (see graph02correct and group1).

Is this a bug?

Sincerely,

This is not a bug. The way EViews creates a stacked bar graph (i.e. stacking positive & negative values) is different from Excel.

You will get the desired result by choosing the checkbox of the Stacked bar graphs (Graph Elements -> Bar-Area-Pie -> Checkbox: Stacked bar graphs ) option.

perfect, thanks,
Thomas

Is there a way to do this by coding it? I'm trying to do a mixed graph with a line and the rest stack bars but the 'stackedbar(2,3,4)' command seems to default to the non-excel way.

thanks

Code: Select all

mygraph.options stackposneg

Thanks, maybe i have the wrong first part though.

Doing this :
It gives me an error saying options is not a valid view
