Newbie question:
 

Hi, I am totally lost while trying to make a line chart.
This is the story:

I have during one week collected CO2 values together with temperature
and the number of people together with the time in the computer
classrom at the school where I work.

I whant to make a line chart where the PPM CO2 is plotted (vertical -
left) and on the horizontal axis is the time, on the other vertical
axis (right side) I want the temperature shown.
The number of people should be plotted as labels or in the horizontal
axis (under the time).

Is this possible?

Best regards
Bertil

Bertil -

Set up the data in four columns: first column with the time (put date and
time together in a cell), second with CO2 readings, third with temperature,
fourth with number of people.

Select the first three columns and create an XY chart (not a line chart) but
select the style with straight (not smoothed) lines connecting points. Right
click on the temperature series, and on the Axis tab, choose Secondary.

For the labels download one of these free and easy to install and use Excel
addins:

Rob Bovey's Chart Labeler, http://appspro.com
John Walkenbach's Chart Tools, http://j-walk.com

Apply the labels in the fourth column to either existing column. If you want
the labels to appear along the top or bottom of the chart, add a column of
values to the table that are equal to the top or bottom Y value on either
axis, add a series with this data, and add the labels to this series.
