I'm not sure what you're describing. Is the problem that the secondary
series obscures the primary series? If so, try this:

Your subject indicated something about the axis label, but there's nothing
about that in the description.

I am working on a custom line/column chart. The data on the primary y axis
presents change in a 96-97, 97-98, 98-99 and so on format. The secondard
y
axis has columns representing profits for 1997, 1998, 1999, etc. I am
only
able to chart the x category axis with the 96-97, 97-98 ...sequence of
years
separated by small verticle lines. The secondary axis columns sit on top
of
the range of years (96-97) rather than the year (97) that the secondary
column represents. I tried spacing with a blank space but that did not
work.

I would like to have the secondary columns, for example, 1998 profits sit
on
top of the 98 in 97-98 rather than in the middle of 97-98.

Any thoughts would be appreciated.
