Hello everyone,

I am new to Stata and currently trying to create a bar chart that shows GDP data from two different countries over a certain period of time. I figured out how to create a bar chart with only one country but now I would like to add bars that indicate a value for another country in the same graph. What I would like to show in the graph is the comparison of quarterly GDP values of two different countries. Here is my code:

graph twoway (bar obsvalue qdate if country == "DEU", color(gs8)) ///
(bar obsvalue qdate if country == "ITA", color(black)) ///
ytitle("Gross Value Added in Million US$") xtitle("Period") ///
xlabel(232 "Q1/2018" 233 "Q2/2018" 234 "Q3/2018" 235 "Q4/2018" 236 "Q1/2019" ///
237 "Q2/2019" 238 "Q3/2019" 239 "Q4/2019" 240 "Q1/2020" 241 "Q2/2020", angle(45)) ///
legend(order(1 "Germany" 2 "Italy"))

When I execute this code I always get the error message: ) required. I really cannot figure out where in the code the brackets are missing.

I would really appreciate any advise how to fix that problem.
