Make a stacked bar DataGraph with a line

Question:     

I know how to make stacked bar chart in Milestones Professional, but I am having trouble adding a line in the same chart as below. Is this possible in Milestones Professional? Thanks.  

 

Answer:

Yes, this is possible by overlaying one DataGraph onto another as in this example.

 

  1. Add a new ValueSet called Red Line.  Make it a Type 1 (Keyed-in global values)
  2. Enter a few constant values for the new ValueSet, making sure it spans your date range.  Set its graphic properties to be a red line.  (See picture 1 below)
  3. Right-click the DataGraph and choose DataGraph Properties.
  4. Click the tab for DataGraph 2, add only the new ValueSet (Red Line).  (Assign ValueSets to Graph button.)
  5. Click the tab for DataGraph 1 and  Overlay ValueSets from DataGraph 2.  (see Picture 2)
