                Posted - 04/11/2017 : 08:24:46 AM  Hey,
  I am a newbie in origin. I'm trying to plot a bar chart with Data from two different origin slides within one worksheet. If I create the bar plot with the first data column, every thing's fine. But if I want to add a second column from another slide either it is plotted but just void spaces are visible or nothing is shown. But the second column is clearly added. Of course I was councilng some tutorials but without succes Thank you for your help. |

                Posted - 11/14/2017 : 12:02:18 PM  Hello Blinky_Bill and visitors to this thread,
  Regarding to add a dataset to an existing Stack Column/Bar chart, in the recently released new  Origin 2018, you can simply drag-and-drop the additional data column onto the graph to add it  as a plot group member. This improved behavior would be beneficial for users who frequently make  stack column/bar charts. 
  To try this improvement, you can download and install the evaluation version of Origin 2018 from:  https://www.originlab.com/demodownload.aspx
  Hope this information helps.

  You can graph two bar plots on the same graph by plotting either with:
  1) Double y-axis (use two layers) http://www.originlab.com/doc/Quick-Help/double-Y-column-plot
  or 
  2) Stacked column (origin 2015 version and later) http://www.originlab.com/doc/Tutorials/VariableColumnWidth
  For stacked column you must set the two sublayers to be grouped. To group layers (section 3.4 from user guide below):
  http://www.originlab.com/doc/User-Guide/Graphing#Grouping_Data_Plots
  note: you can edit the layers in the Plot Setup Dialog box, to make sure you are plotting correctly. |
