    Data line is incorrect when there is two lines of data

    Hello,

    I am trying to create a simple data chart with 2 axis lines. The first line in the data is correct, but when I add the 2nd line it is posting off by around 2000. It shows the correct data when you click show data, but is not on the correct axis line on the chart.

    I have attempted to add a picture of the issue.

    Hi KanBama,

    sounds like you are using chart type 'stacked lines' rather than a regular line chart.

    KanBama, it's hard to tell what you want to do. What do you mean with "axis lines"? Are you creating a line chart with two data series? Is the X axis a category axis? Maybe you need to use an XY chart instead of a line chart.

    Post a sample file with some dummy data that illustrates your issue. Then we will be able to give more detailed advice.

    cheers,

    Perhaps you are using a stacked line chart
