Put It In A Scratch Workbook Like This

create the graphic

Sort The Data Once You’ve Copied It All
Notice that it begins again
with Assessment #2 as you move
down the data
Sort this data by standards mastery, lowest to highest for each round of
assessment. That’s how we’ll get the
bars to line up nicely on our
graphical display.

Next, organize the data so that Excel will make
the figure you want

Organize The Data So It Looks Like This
Notice that we’ve kept the
data sorted, but put boys and
girls in different columns
You’ll need the data just like
this.

Now, highlight the organized data and tell
Excel what kind of graphical display you
want

allowing you to create your own
label for the axis

Then Create Some Space For A#3 Label
