Default scale of sales and net income chart

Hi,

Here are two ideas:
1. Create a dummy axis for one of the sets of data, check Jon's web site for
topics related to this subject.
2. Use a Log scale - the down side of this is not everybody is comfortable
viewing this chart type.

I'm using Excel 2007 and need to chart the following:
Sales 10,000
Operating Income 1,000
Net Income 500

Excel is creating the chart from these numbers, but because Sales are so
high compared to Op Income and Net Income, I can barely see the 2 smaller
numbers on the chart.

I'm already using a secondary axis for a statistical calculation, or it
would be the perfect solution.

I've experimented with scale (in Excel 2003) but haven't gotten too far.

Any help for this? TIA.
