    Secondary y-axis

    Hi all ,
    I am trying to create a chart that has 2 y-axis data series sharing a common x-axis. I have been trying to add a secondary y-axis for second data series. How do I do this please?

    Select graph line and right click on it -> Format Data Series -> Secondary Axis (under Series Options)
    Never use Merged Cells in Excel

    You now have a secondary Y axis, you just need to format it however you wish.
    Everyone who confuses correlation and causation ends up dead.

    Just anticipating a bit:
    if you want your bars next to each other, the easiest way will be to add 2 empty series (one drawn on main, second on secondary axis, because otherwise it is not easy to move the bars left or right)
    Best Regards,

    Kaper
