drag the variable to the top of the bar, you should see a big drop zone with a + in it. If you don't you have either set the statistic for the existing variable to value or have used a point element.

Dear Beadle ViAnn,
In relation to the query below. I am also trying to do this but I can't seem
to drag more than one variable onto the Y axis. Is there an option to allow
for this?
Thank you.
Best wishes, Jac
