Not so nice is that I'm about to ruin a Friday morning for a bunch of people because of a series of unfortunate events and an upset foreign government. - shrift

The Giants in southcentral PA are competing nicely with Wegmans. I can't tell you the last time I stepped into a Weis.

I miss Trader Joe's.

I try and follow Angel's advice from a spiritual sense. My relationship with Catholicism has been fraught for a number of years. I'm with Susan in that the customs and traditions of Mass bring me comfort, but not necessarily from a religious sense.

Help! I have an excel question that I can't quite figure out how to ask, so I can't find the answer myself. Does anyone know how I should arrange my data so that it shows up as a bar chart with two sets of bars? Here is what I have: numbers for each of three quarters in three locations, for two related measures. So I'd like to have each location across the bottom with the three quarters listed for each location, and two bars in each quarter. Does that even make sense? (The problem is that I have a picture of the exact chart I want and no way to update it directly.)

I think someone yesterday was talking about souls, so I thought I'd share a couple of articles on the subject. I came across the theory in the second article through no less than James Marsters at a panel at a local comic con:

OTOneH, Quantum Theory Won’t Save the Soul.

OTOH, Penrose-Hameroff Theory of Quantum Counciousness

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

That second link produces a 404 (not found) error.

Jesse - make the locations your rows, and the measures the columns, grouped by quarter (I wish I could draw a picture to make this clearer). Then Insert Clustered Bar gives you exactly what you are describing. ETA: wait, no it doesn't.

{Should I admit that I don't really understand the Angel quote? It never made sense to me. I don't want to be shunned. Like I said, moral philosophy is hard}

{That Gunn quote about not knowing which moment is important, that one I'm into}

Thank you! That is very close. I'm guessing the original wasn't actually made in Excel.

I flipped the axes and got even closer, but I'm now 90% sure the original was made in something more powerful than Excel.

Measures as your rows, 3 quarters for each location as columns, insert column chart.

Like B1=Location 1, E1=Location 2; B2-Q1, C2=Q2, D2=Q3,E2=Q1 etc; A3=Measure1, A4=Measure 2 for labels

There's something more powerful than Excel? (faints)
