Default Trend Lines


I have a chart with two lines based on two series. They have a different Y
axis. I can create a trend line for one series but not the other. Anyone
help?
TIA
Tony

I have no problem adding 2 trendlines to an XY chart with two data series
with different axes.
What type of chart? Can you give some of the data?

Thanks Bernard. Its a simple line chart showing number of visitors on one
line and labour costs on another line both plotted over the last three
years. the Y axis for visitors goes from 0 to 300,000 and the Y axis for
labour costs goes from 0 to 700. The label appears in the legend but the
line doesn't show. In one month in 2001 we had no visitors because we were
closed so rather than use a value of 0 I put 1 for that month.
Any help?
TIA
Tony

It would seem that the trend line for the second Y axis doesn't show???

What were you trying to accomplish with a 1 instead of a 0 for the month
you were closed? If you want the trendline to ignore it, use #N/A; if
not, why not use the actual value?
