    Displaying larger values with smaller values in a Column Chart

    I have two values that I'd like to compare in a Column Chart.

    First Column... dates.

    Second Column's cells showing values of .0470, .0784 for example.

    Third Column's cells showing values of $50,000, $52,000 for example.

    The problem I have is that the Third Column's Column Towers over the Second Column's Column... which is understandable due to the larger numbers being compared to the decimal numbers, but I'd like to have the Second column (decimal column) visible next to the Third Column.

    Thank you very much

    I am sorry max,

    I could not understand the problem statement yet.

    In the attachment, I am seeing all values are well within their column widths.

    You can move 1 of the series to the secondary axis.
    If you stick with columns you will need to alter your data layout in order to stagger the values.

    But as your data is trend information you can use Line chart style.
