Can't make secondary axis in bar chart

Hi -
I've read several postings regarding adding a secondary axis to a bar chart, but I am having a problem. When I select the data series I want to plot on a secondary axis, the "Axis" tab does not come up, just Patterns, Shape, Data Labels, Series Order and Options. I can get it to work on a line graph, but I need this to be a bar chart. Help?

Thanks

RE: Can't make secondary axis in bar chart

what version of Excel are you working with.
I have 2002 and do not have a shape tab on my data series options.
when you click on the shape tab what do you see

Hi,

You will have to use a 2d chart. Sounds like you currently have one of
the 3d style, which is why you have the shape tab instead of the axis.

Cheers
Andy
