Notes

• Input could be XYY(YY...). First Y column should be current value, plotted as a thin bar; Second Y column should be plotted as a scatter plot, the symbol shape of which is vertical bar; Third and more Y columns are optional, plotted as incremental stack bar.
• Plot Type order: Incremental Stack Bar --> Thin bar --> Scatter
• Each row should be plotted as one layer, and each layer should be stacked as one column.
• Vertical Bullet Chart plots bars as columns, and uses horizontal bar shape for symbol. Each layer should be stacked as one row.
