RE: Graphs - Secondary axis

Thanks but I'm afraid I'm looking for how to do that for Office 2007 (No chart menu)

RE: Graphs - Secondary axis

Hi Rafael,

1. In a chart, click the data series that you want to plot along a secondary vertical axis, or do the following to select the data series from a list of chart elements:

a. Click the chart. This displays the Chart Tools, adding the Design, Layout, and Format tabs.

b. On the Format tab, in the Current Selection group, click the arrow next to the Chart Elements box, and then click the data series that you want to plot along a secondary vertical axis.

2. On the Format tab, in the Current Selection group, click Format Selection.

3. Click Series Options if it's not selected, and then under Plot Series On, click Secondary Axis and then click Close.

4. On the Layout tab, in the Axes group, click Axes.

5. Click Secondary Vertical Axis, and then click the display option that you want.

Excel tip:

Hide data in Excel Worksheets

Let's say you have some data in cell 'C5' you would like to hide from the casual viewer.

Click cell 'C5' to select it.

Click the 'Format' menu, select 'Cells'. When the 'Format Cells' dialogue box opens, click the 'Numbers' tab (if necessary), then select 'Custom' from the 'Category' list.

Double-click the 'Type' entry box and type three semi-colons: ";;;"

Click 'OK' to close the dialogue box and accept the new formatting.

The data in cell 'C5' disappears. It's still there and will work in calculations, but it isn't visible.

If you need to check the data, just click the blank cell and the contents appear in the 'Formula bar'.
