Default Secondary X axis

Greetings!

Is there a way to create a secondary X axis. I have data like below:
Jul-04 Aug-04 Sep-04 Oct-04
Baseline 6,270 12,914 19,883 27,209
Forecast 6,270 12,914 19,883 26,876
Actual 6,257 12,705 19,469 26,521
Threshold Green Green Yellow Red

The dates need to be in X axis and the Threshold (Green, Red, Yellow) needs
to be in X axis correspomding to the date too. Any suggestions? Thanks much!

If you want both the date and the threshold to be on the same side of
the graph, there is no need for a secondary axis.

Suppose the dates are in row 1 (with Jul-04 in B1). Then, insert a new
row at row 2. In the new B2 enter the formula =B1&CHAR(10)&B6. Copy
to C2:E2.

Plot A2:E5.

Thank you so very much Tushar. I tried, the date turned to a serial number
like "38169
Green". How can I keep the date in date format? Thanks.

Oops, sorry about that. In my test, I didn't even look at line 1, only
checked if line 2 appeared correctly.

Use =TEXT(B1,"dd-mmm-yy")&CHAR(10)&B6

Change the TEXT function's 2nd argument as desired.
