    How to make a chart with 2 columns where each column has a different axis?

    Hello Everyone,
    Lets say I have 2 types of Data (e.g one is quantity and the other one is in $) and I want to put them on the same plot.
    What I need is 2 columns and a secondary axis.
    So, I create a plot of columns with 2 adjacent columns where the measure of each column is on different axis.
    I want to emphasize that I need 2 columns and not a column and a line.
    You see the example picture at the attached file.

    Thanks,
    Koby

    Add two extra columns and write some numbers there
    then
    1. made column graph of all data (4 columns)
    2. format one of real series and one of "empty" series to be plotted on suplementary axis
    3. Right click on a series and select graph data, then move "empty 2" series to the top of the list of series (Top is not necessary, above Value series would be enough)
    4. delete all values in empty series
    5. If legend is needed, then delete unwanted legend entries: click on a legend. Click on unwanted enrty. Press <Del>. Do the same with second unneeded entry

    See attached file with intermediate steps presented
