    Weather Chart

    I am trying to construct a weather recording chart which will show maximum and minimum temperatures on a rage of 0 to 100, barometric pressure on a range of 28 to 31 and rainfall on a range of 0 to 2. I cannot find any information on how to do this. Using a single y axis scale results in the rainfall not showing and the barometric prssure as a virtualy straight lin.

    Is this is possible using excel ?
    If so how it is done?

    If it is really complex could somebody just point me in the right dirrection as to where I can find the information I need.

    you could put the rainfall and bar pressure on a 2nd y axis - contruct the chart, select the series and switch to 2nd y axis.
    not a professional, just trying to assist.....

    David -

    You could try this technique. Adjust it to make three different regions, one
    with each scale, covering the ranges 0-1, 1-2, and 2-3; adjust the
    corresponding data so 0-100 corresponds to 0-1, 23-31 corresponds to 1-2,
    and 0-2 inches of rain corresponds to 2-3.

    The transformations are not too complicated. For temperature, just divide by
    100. For pressure, subtract 23, divide by 8 (31 minus 23), then add 1. For
    rainfall, divide by two and add 2. Construct three dummy axes as shown in
    the example cited above, or using this technique:
