Excel charts and graphs

how do i compare two lots of data in one graph if the indices are different - for example, comparing prices of two commodities, oil in US dollars per barrel, and gasoline in Euros per metric tonne?

RE: Excel charts and graphs

Hi Geraldine

Thank you for your question

This is a case where you might want to use a secondary data axis. This places another axis on the right side of the chart and plots the selected series against that axis, whilst leaving the other series plotted against the primary axis on the left hand side.

Simply right click on the series in question and select series propeties. On the resulting dialog select the axis tab and choose the secondary axis option button.

Hope this is useful

Regards

Stephen

Excel tip:

Using basic functions without doing formulas

When you highlight figures Autocalc tells you the total in the bottom right of the screen, but if you right click on the sum it will give you some basic functions. The functions are Min, Max, Average, Sum, Count, and Count Nums.
