    Show Y Axis on both ends of a chart

    Is there an effective method to show the Y (vertical) axis on the left and right side of a chart simultaneously?

    Thank you for any assistance.

    Sincerely,

    Hi,

    Click the chart wizard, Custom types, Line - column on 2 axes should do the trick

    ok, we're using Excel 2007, and the chart is already built...

    Thank you.

    This worked:
    • Right click on one of the dataset lines in the chart
    • It should get some sizing blocks on it, then select Change Series Chart Type
    • When the dialog box opens, change to a regular bar chart (top leftmost selection)
    • Click OK
    • Right click on the new dataset (on one of the bars), select Format Data Series
    • One of the selections on the left should be Series Options, and one of the options in that group should be ‘Plot Series On’…and Primary Axis should be selected
    • Choose Secondary Axis
    • It should duplicate the ‘Y’ axis on the opposite side from where you have it set.
    • Don’t panic about the formatting, it’s pretty easy to format it after the fact.
    • Then you just reverse the process to set the chart type back.

    Thanks much, this is a great resource...

    Hi,

    When I answered earlier I was using 2003, I'm now home and on 2007 and can see what you are doing now. That's a good result!
