Bar graphs - Please HELP!

I am trying to make bar graphs in JMP as I've done in Excel (I understand these are very different software with different specialties, but I am learning JMP). See examples of the graphs I want to replicate in JMP, attached. I've dug through many tutorials but have not found the solution. 

 

The first graph (see example "Total Number by Platform") is the total number of 6 different species of whales detected from three different platforms (aerial, vessel and stranding records).

The second graph (see example "Species by season") is the number of whales sighted per 100 km flown by season and for each species.

I've also attached the data in Excel for these two graphs in case anyone can offer guidance. Many thanks in advance! I appreciate your time and help.

Copy your data into a JMP data table like

Open Graph Builder

Select all 6 Whale columns and drag them to the X drop area

Click on the Bar Chart icon

Drag Season to the X axis drop area

Select all of the whale columns

Drag all of them to the Y axis drop area

The same process is used for the Total by Platform spreadsheet

You need to take time to read the document Essential Graphing from the JMP Documentation Library.  It is available under the Help pull down menu.

The Graph Builder and all of it's power is documented with examples in the document.
