Creating a 2 axes custom chart

[Bridget Stacy]

Excel allows you to create a 2 axes chart with side-by-
side bars. Is there some way to create a stacked bar
chart with 2 axes?

Bridget,

Create the stacked bar chart, then right click on one or your
series and choose "Format Data Series". Under the "Axis"
tab select "Secondary Axis" for the "Plot series on" option.

Of course you're aware that each item in a stack must refer to the same
axis. There may be alignment problems, with columns on the secondary
axis obscuring those on the primary axis. I show the general technique
for putting column series onto two axes on this web page:
