    Overlay Line Chart onto a Stacked Bar Chart

    Hi All,

    Been struggling with this one for a while now, so I hope someone can help!

    I want to overlay a line chart on top of a stacked bar chart. Instead of explaining it all I've attached what I've been working on. The first tab are the two charts and then second tab is how I would like it to look.

    As a bit of background - one chart is my investment portfolio asset allocation and the other is performance of MSCI World Local

    Thank you in advance!

    Kind regards
    Samuel

    DBY - Thank you so much - This is perfectly what I was after!

    My only question, if you don't mind, is how I can replicate this myself? What roughly were your steps?

    I've been playing with "Change Series Chart Type" and "Format Data Series > Series Option > Secondary Axis" but can't quite get it right...

    Thank you again,
    Samuel

    you also need to add a secondary x axis as well as y axis and then set it to not display labels or tick marks

    if at first you don't succeed try doing it the way your wife told you to

    Actaully just figured it out - I needed to change the options on the axes.

    Thank you both and have a good day!
