Creating a Bar Graph with Two Data Sets of Different Scales in Excel
- Enter your data into Excel, with two sets of data, one for each axis.
- Select the data you want to plot, including both sets of data. Click on the "Insert" tab and select "Clustered Bar" chart type.
- Add the secondary axis by right-clicking on one of the data series and selecting "Format Data Series".
- In the "Format Data Series" pane, select the "Series Options" tab and check the box next to "Secondary Axis".
- Right-click on one of the bars and select "Format Data Series" again.
- In the "Format Data Series" pane, select the "Series Options" tab and change the "Gap Width" to a smaller number, such as 25%.
- Repeat step 6 for the other set of data, if necessary.
That's it! You should now have a bar graph with two data sets of different scales, plotted on separate axes and sitting side by side.
