Intro to Graph Builder Distribution

the second image shows what happens when I try to add the third data column. I'm not sure why it wont let me. It either replaces on of the existing data columns graphed or it switches to histogram mode. The goal is to overlay 2.5keV*6, 5keV*3,10keV*1.5, and 15keV. Thanks!

I replicated your findings. It does appear that using drag and drop of the X axis for 4 variables with a histogram display in Graph Builder, does change the graph from overlayed to side by side. However, if you stack the columns you want overlayed and then used the stacking group column as an overlay column, it will overlay more than 3 levels.

hmm, so you put all data into one column and graphed that? How did you get the different data to be sorted into the right colors for the label?

Dropped the column that shows what the original column name was into the Overlay drop area

I don't think I'm following. I put all the columns of data into one column and put that into "X" area on the lower axis. When I try to drop the original columns into overlay it only allows for 1 column overlay at a time. And it doesn't solidly color that one column of data out of "all data."

Hi @hallef18 : The overlay column should be a Character variable with values 2.5keV*6, 5keV*3,10keV*1.5, and 15keV.

I see thank you!

As an example:

Open

Help=>Sample Data Folder=>Blood Presure.jmp

Stack the BP columns using

Tables=>Stack

Go to Graph Builder and Drag the Data column to the X Axis and the Label column to the Overlay drop area and then click on the Histogram icon
