    Trouble using the secondary axis with a pivot chart

    Hello,

    I am having some issues implementing a secondary axis with my pivot chart. I am using two calculated fields for the months of May and June respectively. I need to implement a static horizontal line on the fill rate chart at a fixed value that stays as I use a slicer. Every time I try to format the data series, the secondary axis is grayed out.

    If possible, I'd like to keep the current format and layout of the chart. I simplified the file as much as possible to save the time of looking through a large file.

    Any help is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

    Marc

    The secondary axis option is disabled as you only have 1 series in the chart. In order to use the secondary axis you need a minimum of 2 series.

    Try changing the layout of your data and then you can create the calculated field of shipped/ordered. Along with a StaticLine field.
    You can then chart 2 series and move the staticline series to the secondary axis.
