Do you mean you want two series, one using A as X and C as Y, the other
using B as X and C as Y?
Select the data in A, hold Ctrl and select the corresponding data in C, and
make an XY chart. Copy the data in B and C, select the chart, and use Edit
menu Paste Special, and add the data as a new series, categories in first
column. If you need different scales for the X values, double-click one
series, and on the Axis tab, choose Secondary. This gives you a secondary Y
axis because of Excel's lack of imagination. Go to Chart menu Chart
Options Axes tab, check the secondary X axis box, and uncheck the
secondary Y axis box.
That will be 5¢, please.

Hi,
I'm trying to get dual x-axis for multiple sets of data (same x values).
the data would be of the form:
wavelength energy transmission
300 =[Simple formula using wavelength]
100
310 =[Simple formula using wavelength]
85
.
.
.
essentially I'm after a chart that uses columns A & B as the x data and
plots C against it as the y-data. However, as A is increasing, B is
decreasing so this seems to make things more difficult!
Does anyone have any thoughts on how to do this in excel?
Dear god I need professional) help!
Cheers
David
