Combination chart with three data ranges
 

Hey all...

I'm trying to create a combination chart with three data ranges on 2 axis...
the primary data source is a volume category represented on the primary "Y"
axis in hundreds, the secondary data source is a percentage category
represented on the secondary "Y" axis in 0.00%... when using these first 2
data sources everything is fine... I need to add a third data source , also
to be represented as a percentage category consistent with the same scale as
the previous percentage... Excel will allow me to add the third data source,
however, when I do so I no chart the secondary data source, it is replaced
with the thrid data source... how can I see all 3 chart series

Don't use the built-in custom type. Make your chart with all three
series as the first type. Select one of the percentages, then go to
Chart Type on the Chart menu and change the chart type to the type it
should be. Select the other percentage type and repeat (the F4 key is a
shortcut for Repeat Last Action). Then double click one of the
percentage series, and on the Axis tab, select Secondary. Repeat for the
other percentage series.
