[Tex/LaTex] Create Yes/No bar charts

bar chart

I am collating data from a survey and I want to create a bar graph like the one below:
A yes/No bar chart

Can anyone provide me with a template of that chart? I tried to inflect bar chart and stick the two together but it does not work very well.
Thanks!

This looks similar, except:

missing thumb up/thumb down symbols;
negative values;
some lesser issues.

enter image description here

\documentclass[tikz,border={40pt}]{standalone}

\usepackage{pgfplots}

\begin{document}
\begin{tikzpicture}

\begin{axis}[axis x line=top,
    axis y line=none,
    bar width=16pt,
    xmax=25,
    xmin=-25,
    ymax=3.5,
    ymin=-1,
    width=9cm,
    height=5cm,
    nodes near coords,
    point meta=explicit symbolic,
    every node near coord/.append style={font=\tiny},
    legend columns=2,
    legend style={
        at={(0.5,0)},
        anchor=north}
]
    \addplot[xbar,fill=blue!20,nodes near coords align={left}] plot coordinates{(10,0) [18 to 24] (15,1) [25 to 34] (7,2) [35 to 45] (17,3) [>45]};
        \addlegendentry{Yes};
    \addplot[xbar,fill=red!20,nodes near coords align={right}] plot coordinates{(-11,0) [18 to 24] (-13,1) [25 to 34] (-15,2) [35 to 45] (-8,3) [>45]};

    \draw (axis cs:0,-0.5) -- (axis cs:0,4);

[Tex/LaTex] Create bar chart with description from file

You can place the descriptions of the bars using nodes near coords. By default, that will print the meta value at the end of the bar, which in turn defaults to the dependent variable (the x coordinate in this case).

To also print the prename value, several steps are required: First, you need to make the content of that column available to PGFPlots. You do this by adding point meta=explicit symbolic to the \addplot options (instructing PGFPlots to expect some kind of non-numerical auxiliary data for each data point). In the table options, you can then set meta=prename. The content of the prename column will then be available for each data point by using \pgfkeysvalueof{/pgfplots/meta}.

Then, you need to find a way to print this at the desired position. Unfortunately, nodes near coords only prints a single node. Fortunately, you can teach PGFPlots to print extra nodes by "piggybacking" onto this node by using every node near coord/.append style={append after command=node {<some text>}. This will append node {<some text>} after the label node.

In order to position this extra node correctly, you'll need to shift it. By default, it is placed at the tip of the bar. To position it at the base of the bar, you can use node [anchor=west] at (axis direction cs:-\pgfkeysvalueof{/data point/x}+\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgfplots/xmin},0). ^{Note: The /pgfplots/xmin is only necessary if you want your bar plot to start from some value other than zero, which is not usually a good idea. As Ethan pointed out in the comments, that's usually misleading. If you want to highlight differences by decreasing the plot range, consider using points instead of bars.}

You'll notice that if you do this, the content of prename column is printed twice: once at the base and once at the tip of the bar. To get the x value back, set nodes near coords=\pgfkeysvalueof{/data point/x} (instead of just nodes near coords, which is shorthand for nodes near coords=\pgfmathprintnumber{\pgfplotspointmeta}).

Here's the result of the effort:

... and here's the code:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage[utf8]{inputenc}
\usepackage{pgfplots,pgfplotstable}

\pgfplotsset{compat=1.9}
\pgfplotstableread[col sep=comma]{
surname,prename,values
Miller,Martin,0.8
Public,John,0.4
Miller,Catherine,0.6
}\testdata

\begin{document}

    \begin{tikzpicture}
        \begin{axis}[
                    xmin=0,
                xbar,
                ytick = data,
                yticklabels from table={\testdata}{surname},
                major y tick style=transparent,
                point meta=explicit symbolic
                ]
            \addplot +[
                    nodes near coords=\pgfkeysvalueof{/data point/x},
                    every node near coord/.append style={
                        anchor=west, 
                        append after command={
                            node [anchor=west] at (axis direction cs:-\pgfkeysvalueof{/data point/x}+\pgfkeysvalueof{/pgfplots/xmin},0) {\pgfkeysvalueof{/data point/meta}}}
                    }
                ] table [y expr=\coordindex, meta=prename, x=values]{\testdata};
        \end{axis}
    \end{tikzpicture}

[Tex/LaTex] pgfplots stacked bar chart with markers

I would really not recommend this plot because basically it's not readable and all data is dominated by Step 3 and predicted ones. First the question,

The plot goes up because you enlarge both limits, you need enlarge x limits=0.15,
I didn't get that error with your code.
You can do that via both declaring a width and a height dimension.

I cleaned up a bit, the code and the result is

As you can see, most of your data vanished and you have strange entries in your legend because those datasets are invisible.

Instead I can think of two options,

clean up the legend and mention only step3, step 5+6, and predicted columns with a disclaimer that the remaining step contribution is negligible and comparable
Combine your negligible entries into a sum and plot that but I can't judge whether it would be a good idea here for your application.
