2-Axis Column Graphs
I have two sets of monthly data where the totals are very different
which makes it necessary for me to utilize both axis (without doing the process John Peltier goes thru. LOL ) Right now I have them shown as a column-line graph on two axis. How can I get the line to be a column graph so the two columns are side by side for each month? When I change the line to a column graph, it overlaps the existing column. Any help is appreciated!

Hi,
Jon does not go through that process for the fun of it, I think  The reason for the work around is there is no built in way to do it.

OOps, sent too fast...
Honestly though, I thought that was for the purpose of using one Axis with very differing numbers. Thanks for the help! Andy Pope wrote: Hi, Jon does not go through that process for the fun of it, I think The reason for the work around is there is no built in way to do it. Cheers Andy

Hi,
Yes but then the style of the chart on the secondary axis is normal different, as you already have. It would be very confusing to have columns next to each other with different scaling. What are the 2 data sets? Volume, Sales, Amount ... Cheers Andy Rita Brasher wrote: OOps, sent too fast...
