This is very close to what I am trying to accomplish, except that February is showing up twice. Also, the data point from the first February entry is showing up in the column for the second February entry (both February data points are showing up in the second February column). If this would only show one of the February columns with all of the February data, it would be perfect! I've been trying to mold this into doing just that, but still can't get there. Do you know how to make it only show the February column once? Thanks a lot!
