Default Columns on 2 Axes

I know that in MS Excel under Custom types of Charts you
get "Lines on 2 Axes", this is perfect but I want to see
BARS and not lines. Can anybody assist me or tell me what
to do. Yes I know there is the option for "Line Column on
2 Axes", BUT this is not going to work for what we want to
do (Me and My Boss) PLEASE help orr assist. Thanx Dirk

Make the chart as a "Line Column on 2 Axes" type. Select one data series
and from the menu go to Chart | Chart type and select column. Repeat this
action with the other data series.

Hi Dirk,

Select one of the lines, Right Click and from the popup menu choose
Chart Type. Pick the bar chart. Repeat for the other series.
