Secondary Units for Excel
I am plotting weight on the y axis and distance on the x axis. I want it to
display English and Metric units for distance. I can change the y axis from the source data. All of my distance values (x axis) are in feet. I am trying to create a second axis at the top of the chart that will display the equivalent Metric value of the table. |

Generate another series, plot that, format data series/ select secondary
axis. That will give you a secondary Y axis, but you can now change to a secondary X axis. Format axis on that to make the scale equivalent to your primary X axis. Make the second series invisible now, if you want to. John Peltier will probably tell you a cleverer way of doing it. -- David Biddulph "Spreadsheet_guy" wrote in message ...

I figured that out shortly after I posted the question. Thanks for the help.
I am interested to see if there is an easier way. "David Biddulph" wrote: Generate another series, plot that, format data series/ select secondary axis.
