Re: st: Stacked and Unstacked Variables in Graph Bar

[Hendrik Worschech <hendrik.worschech@gmail.com>]

Thank you Nick for the quick response.

I understand the concept. I was hoping for an easier way, though as I
have a lot more than just 10 observation and about 50 variables in my
dataset.

But I will find a calm minute, sit down, and make sure to restructure
it that way.
