I've added a step:

Don't use the built-in chart type. Use all of your data to create a stacked
column chart. Select a series that you want as a line, go to Chart menu
Chart Type, and select a line type. Repeat for any other series you need to
change to lines. Double click a series you want to move to the secondary
axis, and on the Axis tab of the dialog, choose Secondary.

Hello,


I am running Excel 2003.


I am creating a line column chart on 2 axes. Revenue is on second y-
axis; headcount on first y-axis.


Headcount is grouped into a number of categories (13). I would like
to have each of the 13 categories as a stacked column. However, when
I try and stack the 13 categories, it works only as far as the 6th
value.


Can anyone suggest a solution.

Thanks Jon,


Looks like I forgot to add the words, I'm working from a Pivot Chart.


I did try starting with a stacked column then converting to a line;
but because of the differences in volumes (revenue figures in 5
figures; people in man months) I lose sight of the people. The 2 axis
solution allowed me to scale them both appropriately.


Have I missed anything?- Hide quoted text -

Got it this time
