Help needed with multi y-axis chart
All,
I have created a combination chart which use bars to show company financials and a line to show unit sales. During the early part of the company's history, certain financial values are less than zero, thus the minimum value for the primary y-axis scale is less than zero. The problem is this - Excel aligns the minimum values of both y-axis scales, thus zero units is aligned with negative dollars. This is confusing to the viewer. My question is this: Other than manually tweaking the scale for the number of units sold, is there an automatic means for having zero be aligned on both scales? Thank you. |
