how do I plot a data series against two series
I want to plot one data series against two axes. I can get the secondary axes
and I can get it onto the x axes at the top. What I want is to get the second axes to be dependent on the first. You see the second axes is the volume fraction of a composite ply and the first is the weight fraction. I want to create a graph so that the data series I plot can be looked up by either the volume fraction or the weight fraction. The problem is that the volume fraction axes scale needs to be irregular since it's a nonlinear function of the weight fraction. Firstly, I'd like to know if that's possible. If so, HOW DO I DO IT? |

Please tell us how the data is set out.

how do I plot a data series against two series
That method is fine for a situation where the two measuring axes are linearly
related to eachother like celsius and fareinheight. (9/5 +32 ) but my situation has the two measuring axes being in a non-linear relationship to eachother ( Vf= (Wfration fibre/density fibre)/(Weight fraction fibre/density fibre+Weight fraction matrix/density matrix) So I can't just scale the axes by changing the min and max of the axis. So what I need to do is have one of the x-axes regularly spaced and the other irregularly spaced so that they are equally far from the y axis when they are equivalent. From what I've seen so far from other posts and the excel help, it looks as though this is not possible. Thanks anyway.

In article ,
says... So what I need to do is have one of the x-axes regularly spaced and the other irregularly spaced so that they are equally far from the y axis when they are equivalent. It is always possible to simulate an axis. But, you have to provide more information about the nature of the two axes. Clearly, if you are plotting one data set against two metrics, there has to be a relationship between the two measuring systems. From what I've seen so far from other posts and the excel help, it looks as though this is not possible. OK.

how do I plot a data series against two series
One of your axes has to be made independent of Excel's axis capability.
Since you know how VF and WF interrelate, this is not a major problem. This page shows how to make an arbitrary axis scale, and gives links to some examples: http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/ArbitraryAxis.html - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services Tutorials and Custom Solutions http://PeltierTech.com/ _______ "Frustrated in Sydney" <Frustrated in wrote in message ...

I responded before noticing Tushar's contributions to the thread. In any
case, it's certainly possible to get what the OP asked. Whether the two parameters are related linearly is irrelevant.

It's certainly possible. Gut feel says you're going to need to use a dummy series to simulate the secondary Y axis rather than use a built in secondary axis. www.peltiertech.com has examples of using dummy series as axes. -- MrShorty ------------------------------------------------------------------------ MrShorty's Profile: http://www.excelforum.com/member.php...o&userid=22181 View this thread: http://www.excelforum.com/showthread...hreadid=512544 |
