    Question combo chart - how to make secondary axis (combo chart)

    I have a bar chart showing the monthly expenses (office supplies). If you look to the right, there is a column for budget year of $15000. How do I make a secondary axis as a line for my budget? I manually drew the red horizontal line in my chart. That is the desired out come I need.

    I tried making the secondary axis but it doesn't show. please see my attached file.

    thank you

    i see it talks about adding a series of values to make the line, but in my case I dont have a series of values. its just $15000. However I think if I have the series, it may be better. I will mark this as solved for the time being. thank you
