    Lightbulb Adding secondary axis (line) to cumulative column chart seems to drop data...

    Howdy folks, been ages since I've been here! Hoping you can help, see attached spreadsheet

    I have the following data:

    From my data I can easily create 2 charts:
    - average pieces of fruit in shopping basket per year (columns)
    and
    - value shopping basket per year (line)

    Screenshot 2023-03-05 at 08.43.51.png

    So far so good. I now want to combine them so I change the chart type to a combo. When I do this, the column chart drops the 2 highest values...

    and the lemons and grapes disappear.

    Spreadsheet attached. Thoughts on what I am doing wrong? PS have anonymised my original data to fruit for obvious reasons :-)

    Works just fine for me. See top right chart in attached version of your file.

    If you look at your chart (bottom left), grapes and lemons haven't disappeared, they've been changed to line charts too and are right at the bottom of the chart.
