    Thanks Andy for your response.

    Yes I did that and created the chart once but going forward it will be no good as the values in the Band A, B C and D are counts. And I may have to do every time I create the chart.

    Was just thinking of some other way to do it.

    I don't understand what you mean by
    but going forward it will be no good as the values in the Band A, B C and D are counts.

    there probably is put you have not provided any usable information about your data or it's layout.

    post example workbook.

    Re: Overlapping Primary and Secondary Axis in Charts

    Actually Let me explain my requirement. I am trying to plot the aging of tickets for different teams. It has got 4 different buckets. Any ticket which has the aging greater than 5 days is highlighted (shown in light red and dark red colors).

    The problem here is, I do not want to make the count of tickets negative for plotting the chart. I am looking out for some way so that we can directly plot the chart without altering the data.

    Attaching a sample workbook for your reference.

    Thanks Andy. This is what I wanted in chart.

    Sorry for being lame.... Can you please tell how you plotted the chart. Because when I plotted it was looking something like in the picture attached.

    Re: Overlapping Primary and Secondary Axis in Charts

    you need to set the scaling on both horizontal axes to be
    Min = -30
    Max= 30

    And the secondary axis needs to be in reverse.

    Use the format dialog to check all the settings of both axes.
