    Axis troubles - Scatter chart for individual dates with monthly summary as bar chart

    Hello, all.

    I'm stuck.

    I have a bar chart with four separate data series broken down by monthly counts (currently 7 months, all along the X axis). That's all well and good.

    What I have been trying (CEASELESSLY, IT SEEMS) to do is add a secondary horizontal axis that would reflect individual dates within each month, so I could chart important events/occurrences as a scatter chart. Technically, I don't even need that secondary axis label to be visible. I'd just like my scatter points to show up in "roughly" the correct area over each month.

    I'm assuming this is doable, but since it's driving me absolutely batty, I'm thinking (hoping) maybe it's simpler than I'm making it.

    Any guidance/pointers?

    you don't provide an example so not sure if this is what you are wanting.
    Combination column and xy-scatter

    after http://www.excelforum.com/forum-rule...rum-rules.html :
    Post a WORKBOOK. Nobody wants to type data from a picture or paste text from your post into a spreadsheet as a prelude to helping. To attach a file, push the button with the paperclip (or scroll down to the Manage Attachments button), browse to the required file, and then push the Upload button.
    Also -> nobody wants to generate sample data to try with.

    Moreover - once you post a workbook, we know what already have been done (here - bar chart) and can try to fit solution into already existing frames.
    Best Regards,

    Kaper
