trend chart with cummulative column
Sometimes with diverse data like this it's better to use two charts than to
put one series on the secondary axis. It depends on the objective you have for making the chart. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Peltier Technical Services - Tutorials and Custom Solutions - http://PeltierTech.com/ 2006 Excel User Conference, 19-21 April, Atlantic City, NJ http://peltiertech.com/Excel/ExcelUserConf06.html _______ "chiuinggum" wrote in message ... i would like to plot a chart that has combination of column trend chart, goal line chart and a cummulative column chart.

trend chart with cummulative column
Basically I want to show how the assembly perform actual by month against the
monthly goal (1500). At the same time what is the YTD number. As the YTD is the cummulative of 12 months obviously it will be much higher. Using the same axis, the YTD column bar will dwarf the monthly column number. How can I plot the YTD on the secondary (right) axis?.

trend chart with cummulative column
Add another column with all empty cells except the last one, which will
contain YTD data. [In the first, monthly series, leave the last cell empty.] Add this new column as a 2nd series to the chart. -- Regards, Tushar Mehta www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions In article , says... when i double click ytd column there is only pattern, data labels and option to select. actually there is no YTD series but just a column YTD. the YTD series is part of the monthly series.
