    [SOLVED] two x axes with one y axis, different data on x

    I need to have two x-axis with two different types of data (ex: oxygen and
    temp, one on top, one on the bottom) with one y-axis (depth, on the left).
    The same basic concept as having 2 y-axes but with the x-axes.

    Make your XY chart with both sets of data. Double click one series, and on
    the Axis tab, select Secondary. Excel helpfully gives you a secondary Y
    axis, but only the primary X axis. Select Chart Options from the Chart menu,
    and on the Axes tab, uncheck the secondary Y box, and check the secondary X
    box.

    Thanks, i also found the xy switch add-on which moved my depth data to the
    y-axis and then everything was fixed when i did what you suggested below.

    Thanks
