Combined bar and line chart (two Y axis) how to make excel know which data goes where
 

Hello all,

after the super fast problem fixing last time i had a problem, i'd like
to ask the excel collective for some more help... :)

now trying to plot a combined bar chart and line graph. I basically
want all the sets of data except one to appear as columns plotted
against the axis on the left and the last set of data (which is a
cumulative value of the data appearing for the columns) plotted against
the right hand axis as a line.

I can plot the graph fine, but out of the 7 sets of data which i want
to appear as 6 sets of columns and one line, i get four sets of columns
and three sets of lines. How do i tell excel to plot all except the
last set of data against the left and then the last against the right?

Help!

thanks in advance :)

Hi,

Easiest way is to create the chart as column based on all data. The
select the series which you want as a line and right click and change
the chart type to Line. Double click the line series and change the Axis
to secondary.
