    Dual X Axis tutorial

    Though I have read Mr. Peltier's essays on why not to use dual axises (hope I spelled that right...), I still would like to experiment with a chart I am toying with. Does anyone know of a simple tutorial or explanation I can read to get me going on how to construct a second axis and assign a series to it?

    Thank-you!

    Thank-you!

    Would have been a bit happier if it were focused on handling in vba, but I suspect I am 90% there by running the macro recorder while following the steps, then cleaning up. Who knows, I just might learn more than if I had the shortcut!

    Your original post did not mention VBA, so I apologize for that. I don't do a lot of VBA programming with charts, but you may find this from the VBA help files (http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/libr...ice.12%29.aspx) useful - in particular how to use the Axes method to access the different axes in the chart.
