Formatting a Secondary Axis in Excel X

To format a secondary axis in Excel X, follow these steps:
  1. Create a chart with your data and add a secondary axis by selecting the data you want to plot on the secondary axis, right-clicking on it, and choosing "Format Data Series." In the dialog box that appears, select the "Axis" tab and choose "Secondary Axis."
  2. Click on the secondary axis to select it.
  3. Right-click on the secondary axis and choose "Format Axis." In the dialog box that appears, you can make a number of formatting changes to the axis, including changing the minimum and maximum values.
  4. To change the minimum value of the secondary axis, select the "Scale" tab in the Format Axis dialog box. Under "Minimum," choose "Fixed" and enter the value you want the axis to start at.
  5. Make other formatting changes to the secondary axis, such as changing the axis title, changing the font, or changing the line style.
  6. Click "OK" to close the Format Axis dialog box.

By following these steps, you should be able to format the secondary axis in your Excel X chart. If you have any other questions or run into any issues, feel free to ask!
