Secondary y-axis for certain x-axis categories (not by series)
 

Hi:

I have the data set up similar to this:

Group 1 Group 2 Group 3
A 1 1.5 0.8
B 5 3.2 2.5
C 4 6.7 4
D $35 $20 $56
E $42 $36 $29

I want to put all three series into one bar chart with categories A, B, C,
D, E across the x-axis. I want to have 2 y-axes, one for categories A, B, C
and one for categories D & E. However, when I use the "Secondary Axis"
option, it seems to only allow me to choose a series (Group 1, Group 2, or
Group 3) for the secondary axis. Is there a method to use the Secondary Axis
feature wtih x-axis categories (and not with a data series)?

Thank you!

You need to make the chart "by rows" so that the categories are Group1,
Group2, & Group 3
Then the data series are A thru D
But one needs an extra step using secondary axis with column charts: see

You need two series then for each group. For instance,

Group 1 Low Group 1 High etc.
A 1
B 5
C 4
D $35
E $42

Then move the "High" series to the secondary axis.
