Default "broken" y-axis in Excel charts


I often need to graph two parameters on the same bar graph whose high
values differ by a great deal - sometimes by a factor of 10 or 20 -
which makes the lower values almost disappear. I could use a second y
axis but sometimes it's inconvenient to do so. I have seen charts in
scientific journals that "break" the y-axis to indicate that the scale
has been compressed and partially hidden. Is this possible in Excel?
It would really come in handy sometimes.
Mike
