New chart area with different category groups

Hi cpur,

Per my understanding that you want to display different category groups in different chart area, right?

By default, all series are added to the default chart area. When using area, column, line, and scatter charts, any combination of these series can be displayed on the same chart area. If you have several series in the same chart area, the readability of the chart is reduced. You may want to separate the chart types into multiple chart areas. Using multiple chart areas will increase readability for easier comparisons.

So a new chart area only support to display an different series but not Category group. In your scenario, I will suggest you to create different chart to display the different category group and keep the series and series group the same.

More details informaion about add new Chart Area:

Thanks for your understanding.
