To stop overlapping when using column charts and secondary axis you need
to lay your data out slightly differently.

Oooh, great catch. Well, changing the chart type gets me the Axis tab, and I
can add the secondary axis, but now the bars are superimposed on one another,
which isn't what I want (or what anybody would want, I suppose). Oh well.
Guess you just can't make this feature work in Excel.

Hi,
The Shape tab suggests that the chart type is one of the 3d types, in
which case you can not use the secondary axis.

Amanda -
First, you need at least two data series. Then, select one, choose Format
Selected Data Series | Axis | Secondary Axis.
I also have Excel 2003, and this answer -- which is right straight out of
the help file -- does not work for me. Specifically, there IS no "Axis"
option. When I go to Format - Selected Data Series, I get the following
tabs: Patterns, Shape, Data Labels, Series Order, and Options. There is no
"Axis" tab.
