    Jon Peltier doesn't like broken axes, preferring panel charts instead. His reasoning and tutorial for building panel charts is here. http://peltiertech.com/WordPress/bro...n-excel-chart/

    If you feel you must have a broken axis, andy pope has a sample spreadsheet here http://www.andypope.info/charts/brokencolumn.htm

    Re: Make a chart with a break Y axis

    I very like the panel chart technic, but my issue is I'm not able to built one by myself. Does someone know a tutorial where it's explained step by step how to built a panel chart or if someone one can explain me. ( I'm not even able to create a second axis...)

    thanks

    LP

    Adding the secondary axis should be as easy as following the instructions here: http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/ex...149.aspx?CTT=1

    Here's another of Jon's tutorials with more detail in setting up the spreadsheet and chart. Perhaps this will help: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/ChartsH...venScales.html
