All I need to do now, is sort out automating my offsets and replicate it across 6 products and 12 months :) Chandoo,

I guess you are planning to create a chart where in each square area you want to show 2 blocks, one at the bottom with no. servers in prod and another bigger blog with total servers ...? assuming no. servers in A1, total servers in A2 and the block of area which you want to fill with 1(if it should colored for no. servers in prod), 2(for total) and blank (to be left blank) is in C1:L10 you can write formula like this: <code>=if((10-row())*10 + 12-column() <=$a$1,1,if((10-row())*10 + 12-column() <=$a$2,2,""))</code> Once you have 1,2 and blanks, just use conditional formatting to fill the squares a la square pie.

assuming no. servers in A1, total servers in A2 and the block of area which you want to fill with 1(if it should colored for no. servers in prod), 2(for total) and blank (to be left blank) is in C1:L10

you can write formula like this:

=if((10-row())*10 + 12-column() < =$a$1,1,if((10-row())*10 + 12-column() <=$a$2,2,""))

Once you have 1,2 and blanks, just use conditional formatting to fill the squares a la square pie.

However, I was wondering if it would be possible to show two data series in this way - e.g. no of servers in production vs. total no of servers? I have hurt my brain and made my eyes bleed trying to get the two sets of figures overlapped (as in a stacked barchart with 100% overlap, but my "IF" writing is just not up to it - any ideas? thanks :) Hi,
