    Secondary axis excel stacked bar chart

    Hi there,

    In the attached file you can find a stacked bar chart. The graph you can find in the document is not functioning as I would like it to be. The columns B & C must be connected to the primary axis and the columns D & E must be connected to the secondary axis. For some reason I cant figure it out...

    Can you please help me.

    Cheers, Jeroen

    The problem is that you can have only whole series presented on either primary or secondary axis. And in your case - the series are not column-related but row-related. So what you as for is half series on primary and second half on secondary axis.
    Excel can't do this.
    But there is hope :-) You can double number of your series and put only data from columns A and B into first half and only from C and D into second half of the doubled-set.
    See attached sample.
    I did it just for first three (now 6 series).
    You probably will need to play a bit with formatting.
    Colours are to be changed manually in second set of series as a copy from the first set.
    And you shall remove unneded/unwanted legend entries.
    This is a bit tricky: click on the legend entry text (not colored square) - whole legend will be selected, click on it again - only this entry will be selected now, press Delete, gedaan!
    Repeat for next unwanted legend entries.
