You can do this to a limited extent:


clear
input index proj_red months
1 .4763174 24.46892
2 .7769159 68.40548
3 .7805855 45.94017
end

rename (pro mo ) (v1 v2)
reshape long v, i(index)
replace index = index - .25 if _j ==1
l
twoway bar v ind if _j == 1, barwidth(.25) ytitle("") ///
|| bar v ind if _j == 2, yaxis(2) barw(.25) ytitle("", axis(2)) ///
|| , ylabel(.4(.1).8) xlabel( .875 "1" 1.875 "2" 2.875 "3") ///
   legend(order( 1 "Proj Red"  2 "Months")) name(gr1, replace)


 clear
input index proj_red months
1 .4763174 24.46892
2 .7769159 68.40548
3 .7805855 45.94017
end

rename (pro mo ) (v1 v2)
reshape long v, i(index)
replace index = index - .4 if _j ==1
l
twoway bar v ind if _j == 1, barwidth(.4) ytitle("") ///
|| bar v ind if _j == 2, yaxis(2) barw(.4) ytitle("", axis(2)) ///
|| , ylabel(.4(.1).8) xlabel( .8 "1" 1.8 "2" 2.8 "3") ///
   legend(order( 1 "Proj Red"  2 "Months"))
