What if we decided to cluster these items by region? Domestic, Europe, Asia. We see the months across the bottom, so each cluster of columns is about a given month. Now, before I do that, notice that the data is clustered by months. Now, we don't see the word orientation in any of the menu items, but if I click the blue chart to the right of the data, this is a clustered column chart, on the chart design tab in the ribbon, there's an option to the right called switch row column.
In this worksheet called Year Data, we've got a number of charts and they are oriented a certain way.
