Hi, I'm new to excelguru!

I am creating a combined excel chart to compare financials across different stores within the same entity.
Specifically, I want to display revenues (clustered columns) and EBITDA margin (line w/ markers) for 2016-2018 for 3 different stores.
However, I want the line chart displaying EBITDA margin to 'break' for each store, meaning I want it to be discontinuous and only show 3 and 3 values at the time.

In the attached excel file you can see both the input data and the current chart. In the chart on the right I have the continuous line chart, but I want the one to the left (keep in mind, this is created using the grey input data in the first image, but I want to do it in another way as is it is both time consuming when I have a larger data set than this, and also work bad on the legends (as it shows one legend for each series)).

Any suggestions are highly appreciated!

Simplest fix would be to add column between groups. Add space to category group row in order to get the grouping correct
