Could you tell us what the data model is you're working with? (table descriptions and preferably some sample data)

Thanks for the reply
I have a table in which i have 2 fields: contract_type and contract_comp_method
On the X axis i need to have 4 combinations of the above 2 fields
1)contract_type=on call and contract_comp_method=unit price
2)on call and negotiated rate
3)project specific and other
4)amendments
its like group A,B,C,D
and on the Y XAIS i need to have the number of days and the graph must represent the quarter for each color of the bar from 2006 to 2008.
thnks

The information you provided can not be complete, since you only mention 1 table with 2 columns, which can never result into a graph with number of days. It would make matters a bit easier of you would provide the complete details.
However, I think you are looking for a calculated item, something like:
case when column_a = 'x' and column_b like 'abc%' then 'A'
when column_a = 'x' and column_b not like 'abc%' then 'B'
when column_a in ('y','z') then 'C'
else 'D'
end
Enter the conditions as needed in the various when statements.
