    Double y-axis scatter plot.....?


    I've encountered a problem that seems like it should be easy but I've
    played with it and can't get it to work acceptably.

    I have 2 y-variables related to a single x variable. Specifically I'm
    comparing Parallax shift to distance and the associated percent error
    of distance measurement to the distance.

    The x, of course is my actual distance to the star. One y quantity is
    parallax shift. The other is % Error.

    I can get Excel to do a double y line graph, no problem. My problem
    stems from the fact my x data values are not evenly distributed as an
    Excel line graph plots them to be. A scatter graph plots correctly but
    that only gives me a single y-axis and both lines are plotted against
    the same scale.

    What I need is a scatter plot that will have 2 y-axis and then I can
    insert a trendline for each quantity.

    Any help?

    Create the XY Scatter chart. Then, on the chart double-click one of
    the series. In the resulting dialog box, from the Axis tab select
    Secondary.
