How do I create a second "y" axis on the right?

Derrick,

Create a simple line chart as an example with the following data:

Ser1 Ser2
a 1 4
b 2 3
c 3 4

In the clart plot area, double-click on the series called "Ser2". It should
be the higher line of the two series. In the Format Data Series dialog box,
go to the Axis tab. Choose the option "Plot series on: Secondary axis".
 
This works great in Excel 1997-03, but how do you do this in Excel 2007?

Hi,

The principal is the same just the UI is different.

Create the chart with the 2 series.
Select the series called "Ser2".
On the Layout or Format tab use the Format Selection within the Current
Selection group. On the Series Option tab select Secondary axis.

Cheers
Andy
 
OK, what if I want a second y-axis but it's essentially the same as the
original y-axis, only in a different format? In other words, I don't actually
have two columns of data, I just want to represent the axis in two different
ways, one on the left and one on the right.
