How to combine two charts type in one graph. I am trying to creat a line
chart and a bar chart in one graph. One with the main axix and the other
using the secondary axis.
 
Hi,

Add both series as the same chart type, say line chart, then select one of
the series, and change the chart type to bar (column), and select it's axis
as secondary.
You may wish to adjust the scales of each of the axes to make the grid
lines, if any, look ok.

Thank you Dave,
I did that, but the problem when I combine the column (instead of bar). It
post the data for example with the right or secondary scale, but in reveres
order. It is somewhat complicated to explain, but let me try. It post the
left hand side line chart to read from left to right. Now the coulmn chart
reads from right to left. as well it reversed the data, possitive vs.
negative as well.

i hope expalined it right.
 
Hi,
I don't quite understand what's going wrong. Possibly something to do with
your data layout. Could you post or email an example, and I'll look at it for
you?

Hi,
Ok, what I am actually trying to do is to post the labels along the changes
coulmns. The problem is show the column hight as of the vlaue. But when
trying to point to the column, it give information about the reveres data. In
this case, changes on Jan 23, will read as of changes on Jan 10.
It dispaly correctly, but reads in reveres order.

Thank you,

I posted what axix each data should be. I want to have the label for each
column on top. I used this graph in excel 2003 and has been working, only
when I convert to 2007 lost this type of set up.

Hi,

We haven't "progressed"(!) to Excel 2007 yet, so I'm not sure what to
suggest. If you can manage to construct the chart in Excel 2003, it should
still be possible in 2007. Presumably it's just a well-hidden menu option.
