Default 2nd axis graph


I am running Office/Windows 2K. I have a spreasheet that contains
names of cities. Next to this column I have two sets of data.
I wish to create a bar chart that will plot the city names along the x
axis and then have two y axis to display the 2 different sets of data.
I can create the second y axis, however, this creates a stacking bar
chart which I do not want.
Does anyone know how to do this?

Many thanks.

Regards

Ket

Ket -

What appear as stacking bars are likely two sets of bars, one in front
of the other, instead of side by side. You can make a side by side
column chart on two axes following this example, which uses dummy series
to offset the visible series:
