    2 timelines in 1 graph, messed up axis

    Hi,

    I'm very confused why I'm having this trouble. I've just made a simple comparison between the growth of money supply and inflation in Sweden and the inflation line in my graph doesn't look anything like it should according to the data. If I the Inflation line to be on the secondary axis it all works fine but I really want to know why I'm having this trouble when I have them on the same axis, and how to solve it without changing to secondary axis.

    Here's the file:M3 och KPI 1982-2012.xlsx


    I'm using Excel for mac 2011.

    Thanks!

    Hi, You made this graph as type "cumulative linear" (may be the name is slightly different in your version of excel). Use just "linear with markers".
    See attached corrected one.

    Ah! How simple. For some reason I'd chosen the wrong kind of graph! Thanks!
