Thread: colum graph on 2 axes

Hello
I am trying to plot 2 sets of data on one graph by using both a primary and
secondary axes. Both sets of data need to be in a column format. The only
option I can find in "chart wizard" is a line and column on 2 axes.

Does anyone know if I can plot the data in 2 columns with no lines?

Hi,

Just create a standard column chart. Double click the series you want
to be on the secondary axis and use the format dialog to place it there.

With column charts the default will be for the secondary axis columns to
sit right in front of the primary axis columns so you will need to add
some dummy data. See here for instructions.
