    Help creating a custom bar graph?

    Hi everyone --

    I'm hoping that someone can help me figure out how to create a specific bar graph. I'm a social psychology graduate student, and conducted a study in which some people were given a low estimate and asked to adjust upwards from it, and some were given a high estimate and asked to adjust downwards. I'd like to create a graph that basically looks like this, in order to represent the amount they adjusted from their starting points --

    Does anyone know how I might achieve this?

    Many many thanks for any help you can provide,

    Emily

    Hard to say without seeing the dat ayou have but in order to get those 2 sets of columns you will need to use two data series. Plotting one on the secondary axis with scale values reversed.

    Post example workbook if you need more help.
    Cheers

    Hi,

    I tried to create a chart according to the picture you uploaded. I am not sure if this is what you want but please have a look.
    You can modify the positions of both lines by changing the values in cells C4:D5. In rows 9 and 11 you can enter the values
    you want to show as columns. I prepared 5 periods but the series can easily be extended.
    Please try it out and let me know.

    Regards

    Holger
