Secondary vertical axis

Hi, I'm trying to add 2 vertical axis into one graph, but even when I follow the quidance from the help function, I can't get it working. I would need to get spend figures on the left hand side axis and % on the right hand side axis. Please advise how to do this.

RE: Secondary vertical axis

Hi, i would right click on one of my series (bars) and select "format data series", then select secondary axis and make the gap wide.

I would then double click on the second axis and change the number to a percentage (number tab) on and the the display units to "hundreds" (axis options tab).

Hope that helps?

Excel tip:

Change the default location for opening and saving spreadsheets

If you are always opening spreadsheets from and/or saving documents to a specific location that is not My Documents, save time by setting this folder as the default for opening files from and saving files to.

Here's how:
1. Go to Tools - Options.

2. Select the General tab.

3. Enter the pathname of the folder you wish to make the default in the Default File Location box (hint: it will be easier to use Windows Explorer to navigate to this folder, then copy and paste the pathname from the address bar at the top of the Windows Explorer screen).

4. Click OK.

You have now changed the default folder for opening and saving spreadsheets.
