Multiple labels on X-axis with only 1 point

0

I have a column graph in Excel with 19 columns, of which the 4th, 8th, 12th, and 16th are intentionally left blank.

As you can see in the legend there are esentially groups of 3 bars per subject. I want to add those subjects to the X-axis. However there is only 1 value on the X-axis as the bars are all repeated only once. Is there a simple solution for this, maybe a way to add a custom X-axis?

please upload some sample data, so we can play around with it. Also please reload your picture with bigger font sizes, currently it's very difficult to read, therefore understand your issue. – Máté Juhász – 2017-08-17T08:27:02.180

Added one with a larger font. Data is not important, there are just 19 bars, of which values don't matter. But as there are 19 bars, which are all replicated only once, there is only one spot for a label on the X-axis, where I would like to have 5 labels. – Luuklag – 2017-08-17T08:30:32.687

Please post some sample DATA, so we don't have to squint at your chart and try to guess what the values for the columns are. Also, data layout is important when building charts, to show how your source data is arranged. – teylyn – 2017-08-17T08:36:10.810

By the way, this is a column chart, not a bar graph. – teylyn – 2017-08-17T08:37:09.810

even if data is not important, organization of data IS IMPORTANT, we can't help you without it, – Máté Juhász – 2017-08-17T08:39:14.637

Here is a suggestion to organize your data in a matrix and then create a clustered column chart with two clicks: select A1 to D6 then click Insert > Column chart and accept the defaults.
