I’m trying to create a horizontal bar chart with side-by-side comparison similar to the image below. Is this possible? Is there an example I can look to or what settings would I have to set to make this happen?

I currently have a vertical bar chart with y being downtime reason and x being current shift occurrence count. I’d like to flip the axes and have previous shift occurrence count as a side by side.

Thanks for any help you can provide.

I have a need for this in my current project. Did you get anywhere with this?

EDIT: I was able to flip the x and y and created horizontal bars.

Literally copy and pasting any property with X or Y to Y X. I don’t have a designer open right now but if you can’t figure it out post a screenshot of the XY Chart properties.
