How do I change where category x axis crosses the 2nd y axis?
I'm trying to get the x axis to cross the y axis at zero for both the primary
and secondary y axis. However, since both sets of data points has negative figures the x axis crosses the secondary y axis at a negative number. What am I doing wrong? |

You must make sure the two Y axes have maximum and minimum set to the same proportion with respect to their zeroes. So if the primary Y axis goes from -5 minimum to +10 maximum, and the secondary Y axis must have a maximum of +4, then set its minimum to be -2. And so on. -- Del Cotter NB Personal replies to this post will send email to , which goes to a spam folder-- please send your email to del3 instead. |

How do I change where category x axis crosses the 2nd y axis?
The primary X axis has no connection to the secondary Y axis. Del points out
correctly that you need to make sure the Y axis scale parameters are related by their ratios. I have some VBA code on this web page that will align the axes for you: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/AlignXon2Ys.html - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Del Cotter" wrote in message ...

How do I change where category x axis crosses the 2nd y axis?
I got the code from previous link and pasted it into my Chart sheet, however
I think what complicates things is that I have already 2 primary data set and I guess I need to enter the code for the 2nd as well?
