The dollar values for my secondary axis are left-aligned. I have tried
various number/accounting formats but can't get them to right-align. There
must be a way, right? Thanks in advance for your help.

I assume you are trying to right align them because you have numbers of
varying length depending on size, eg 500, 1000, 10,000 etc.

Try using a custom number format for the axis such as:
[9999]$00,000;[999]$_00,000;$_0_0_0 000

(the smallest one is not perfect, the extra space for the zeroes and
comma don't work exactly, the single space helps and it should be 'fit
for purpose' even though not pixel precise.)

You don't say what version of Excel you have, so I can't give you a step
by step, but it sounds like you already know where to go to change
nunmber formats.

I am using MS2007. I tried what you suggested but that doesn't work. I am
using the seconday axis to show cumulative numbers that range from $0 to
$150,000,000 in $10,000,000 increments.
