    Re: Adding Secondary Axis on Excel for Column chart

    Pictures don't really help us help you, because they don't allow us to see what you have tried and where you are going wrong. Can you describe the steps you are taking to create this chart and what is going wrong when you use those steps? Can you upload a sample Excel file to the forum (go advanced -> Manage attachments)?

    The key steps I would have expected:
    1) How to add a secondary axis to a chart: https://support.office.com/en-us/art...rs=en-US&ad=US
    2) Because that step will likely place one series in front of the other rather than alongside the other, you will need to add blank rows/columns to "stagger" the data.

    What did you try? Does it work if you try these?

    Re: Adding Secondary Axis on Excel for Column chart

    Hello,

    Thanks for replying MrShorty.

    I just want to ask, can we create a clustered column-column bar graph on secondary axis?

    I have followed your link, it is saying for clustered column-line on secondary axis but I am looking for clustered column-column on secondary axis.

    The Image link attached is just showing the type of graph I am looking for. Please follow the image in this link(https://imgur.com/a/gM28t).
    I just want to create exact like this table shown the image. Please follow it once.

    Hope you are understanding my concern.

    Thanks.

    Step 4 from the help file:

    will create a combination chart. However, you are not obligated to change the chart type to line, so you could just check the box for the series you want to be on the secondary axis. That and the adjustments to the data layout I proposed should give the result you show in your picture.

    For the graph type I am looking for, it is not formed by the combination of both the clustered column . I tried making both of them as column then the bar are overlapping over each other.
    I would request you to implement on your excel and then let me know.

    Thanks

    I won't have an opportunity to upload a file for about 24 hours.
    I tried making both of them as column then the bar are overlapping over each other.
    That sounds like you followed my step 1 from post #2, but ignored or neglected step 2. You need both parts to get the chart you show in your picture.

    If it helps and does not add confusion, this tutorial illustrates the data layout I am envisioning https://peltiertech.com/clustered-st...mn-bar-charts/ If you can think of your chart as a "clustered and stacked column chart with only one stack per cluster and one of the stacks on the secondary axis", that should be a useful tutorial for you.
