Recommendation Excel Bar Chart Secondary Axis Side By Side

Excel puts it at the top of the chart by default.

Excel bar chart secondary axis side by side. In the format data series box make the gap width 0. In the Format Axis window select Custom in the Number section then remove the minus - sign from Format Code box. Select the data set Click the Insert tab.

In the Insert Chart dialog box choose the All Charts tab. To format the chart select it and press Ctrl1 The format data series box opens to the right of the chart. When creating a column or bar chart and you want to use this secondary axis you could run into trouble with the columns or bars overlapping each other once you create the new axis.

Change X Axis to positive numbers. With the same chart. Under the Start tab click on the graph at the bottom right showing a bar graph with a line over it.

PS I chose the wrong value for C5. Below are the steps to add a secondary axis to the chart manually. But sometimes we need to use the overlay or overlapped bar chart to compare the two data series more clearly.

With this the bars of one category are combined together at one place. In the Charts group click on the Insert Columns or Bar chart option. Attached Excel sheet shows how to prepare the data so the two data series plot side by side.
