Default Secondary X-axis with reverse Y-axis

Not sure how y1 can be reversed and y2 be "normal"
To get the x-axis labels at bottom: format the primary y-axis and on the
Scale tab set the Crosses At value to 120. Also format the x-axis and on the
Patterns tab set the Tick Marks Labels to High.
Now you can add the secondary x-axis. You will need to change the crosses at
of the Secondary y-axis to 60
best wishes

HI guys just wandering if anyone can me with this problem. this is my set
of
data

x1 y2 x2 y2 x3 y3
2.7 9.4 30.7 100.1 1.275 9.4
5.6 25.5 33.6 90.7 1.325 25.5
8.0 39.4 39.3 74.6 1.375 39.4
10.1 51.1 45.5 60.7 1.425 51.1

Plotting.
Set data 1 ( x1,y1 ) = plot with reverse Y value
Set data 2 ( x2,y2 ) = plot with normal Y value
Set data 3 ( x3,y3) = plot with reverse Y value, need secondary axis

I have been succesfull to plot all the data, except when i have to use the
secondry X-axes ( set data 3 )
i know there has been suggestion about " go to chart option and change it
to
secondary x-axis, but the problem is because i have revese the Y value,
the X
- axis swap to the top make it unable to have secondary axis
what happen when i " tick" secondary axis, my primary X-axis will
dissapear........please help me excel expert..........
