Secondary axis

step by step on secondary axis for charts

RE: secondary axis

Hello Sabrina,

Thank you for your forum post. I have attached a spreadsheet with an example of a line chart with a secondary axis. Here are the steps:

1. Select your data.
2. Insert the type of chart you wish to use.
3. Select the Layout tab in Chart Tools.
4. In the "Current Selection" group, select the series you
wish to show on the secondary axis from the drop-down
list.
5. In the dialogue box, select "Secondary Axis" in Series
Options, then click Close.
6. If you need to change the number increments on the
secondary axis, select Chart Tools - Layout - Axes.
7. Select Secondary Vertical Axis - More Secondary Vertical
Axis Options.
8. In the Axis Options area, you can set the maximum and
minimum values on the axis, as well as the increments.

I hope this helps.

Kind regards
Marius Barnard

PowerPoint tip:

Embedding fonts in a presentation

If you create a PowerPoint presentation which is likely to be viewed on other computers, there can be problems with displaying the font/s you have used in your presentation when it is opened on other machines.

You can embed the fonts you use in your presentation in order to try and get around this issue.

When you go to save your presentation (File - Save as), go to the Tools button at the top of the Save As dialogue box and select Save Options. Under 'Font options for current document only', tick the Embed TrueType fonts option, then select the secondary option underneath that applies best to your situation.

Click OK, then Save.
