Adding two vertical line graphs to a bar graph

**futbolfan** · 08-15-2012, 03:25 PM

Good day,

I have a horizontal bar graph (values), and would like to add, ideally, two vertical line graphs (percentages) on top of the bar graph.

I found an example at peltiertech.com - but cannot duplicate it.

What I have also tried is graphing all three pieces of data as bar graphs, then selecting the other series and changing their chart style to an XY scatter. My main problem is that I cant seem to get a secondary horizontal axis on the top of the graph for the percentages.

Is this possible with Excel 2010? Does anyone have any suggestions?

Thanks,
FF

Should be possible.

Post example of your workbook, data and chart

Andy,

I've attached the data worksheet and chart.

Thanks,

You need to define the x and y values for the 2 xy-scatter series.

The values in your table are the X values. You will need to create a set of Y values, where 0.5 is the center of the first bar and the increment between centers is 1.

Andy,

Thanks so much for the help!

I knew I had to be missing something.
