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.

Hi,

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.

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.
