    Gauge chart the needle is behind the donut area

    Hi
    I was trying to make a Gauge chart and I created the donut chart first then added the second chart (pie) but my needle is behind the donut chart so that only half of the needle is visible. How can I bring the needle on top of the donut area. What could be the problem? Any clue??
    I am attaching the chart here . Could someone help me .

    Hi there. try this:

    Duplicate the graph and move one copy to the side.
    On the original, swap the order of data series 1 and 2.
    On the original, keep clicking on the pointer to select the series.
    Delete.
    On the duplicate, set chart area fill to blank (transparent).
    Select Series 1.
    Delete.
    Move the duplicate to exactly cover the original.
    Use Format/Bring foraward to move the pointer to the front (only if needed).
    Voila.

    Select "Series 2", which is the pie chart, and move to secondary axis
