Default Is it possible to have multiple verticle axis with different scales?

Hi,

I'm doing a line graph and would like to show two series of data on
the one graph.

My problem is that the two data series are at very different scales...
one is percentage and the other is quantity sold.

Is it possible to have a graph with two axes, one for each data
series?

Any help would be much appreciated.

Thanks

If click on the data row with the right mouse button and=20
then on "format row" under the topic axis you can activate=20
a secondary axe. I don=B4t know if you can give it a=20
different format then the first axe but you can try.
I hope I could help you.

Again, the original post never appeared on my server...

Select the data series that you want on the secondary axis by clicking on
that series. On the menu, Format | Selected data series | Axis tab. Select
the secondary axis and you should be on the way.
