I easily can add X axis to the excel chart. However, what I need is that I
need to add both a X and Y axis. The reason is that I have charts in SI units and I want to also show the US Customary units in the same chart. The original X and Y axes are at the bottom and left. The new axes will be on the top and right. |

If I understand you correctly, you want a single chart with 2 sets of
axes. If so, you can simulate the effect. Visit http://www.tushar-mehta.com/excel/tips/index.html, scroll down and click on 'Singe chart with dual axis' -- Regards, Tushar Mehta www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions In article <4112B22C-E12C-4E04-9BD6-F082DEA85459@microsoft.com>, ecanbay@discussions.microsoft.com says... > I easily can add X axis to the excel chart.

Dear Tushar Mehta,
Thank you for your response. However, my question was simply adding a secondary X axis. I have figured out that adding a secondary Y axis is simple. However, How can I add both a secondary X and a secondary Y axis to an excel chart with XY scatter type of series.

Once you have the secondary y-axis, select the chart then select Chart
| Chart Options... | Axes tab. In there check on the option for the Secondary x axis. -- Regards, Tushar Mehta www.tushar-mehta.com Excel, PowerPoint, and VBA add-ins, tutorials Custom MS Office productivity solutions In article <7E65994D-2612-45C5-96F0-B40C0CDD5469@microsoft.com>, ecanbay@discussions.microsoft.com says... > Dear Tushar Mehta, > Thank you for your response.
