如何制作具有不同区域颜色的Excel图表？

Question

Basically, I want to make something which looks like this:

I have no idea where to even start on this question. I've checked the line graphs and the area graphs on my Excel 2015 for Mac, but I can't find anything which would be anything like this.

My data is organised in three columns like so:

Date | Debt | President
=======================
1987 | $$$  | Reagan
1988 | $$$  | Reagan
1989 | $$$  | Bush
1990 | $$$  | Bush
1991 | $$$  | Bush
1992 | $$$  | Bush
1993 | $$$  | Clinton
1994 | $$$  | Clinton

Answer 1

I've solved the problem. And it only took five hours on and off of exasperated problem solving! I've always hated how people who solve their own problems never post the solution on the internet (like this ). So, I posted the solution here. Hope it isn't too far out of decorum.

To accomplish this obnoxiously annoying feat, I created three new columns

Date | Debt | Reagan | Bush | Clinton | President
=================================================
1987 | $$$  | $$$    | #N/A | #N/A    | Reagan
1988 | $$$  | $$$    | #N/A | #N/A    | Reagan
1989 | $$$  | #N/A   | $$$  | #N/A    | Bush
1990 | $$$  | #N/A   | $$$  | #N/A    | Bush
1991 | $$$  | #N/A   | $$$  | #N/A    | Bush
1992 | $$$  | #N/A   | $$$  | #N/A    | Bush
1993 | $$$  | #N/A   | #N/A | $$$     | Clinton
1994 | $$$  | #N/A   | #N/A | $$$     | Clinton

I was able to generate that pattern by using an if statement for the C , D , and E columns: IF(C2="Reagan",B2, NA()) , with changed C2 and "Reagan" values where relevant (that is, for the Bush column, D2 and "Bush" , and so on).

This created a series of lines. I plotted those lines using the Excel plot function. Then, I right-clicked to have those lines and told them to plot as areas. Then, I had what I wanted.
