Adding a secondary vertical axis without impacting data table as horizontal axis

Hello,
I am struggling with this one. I have a stacked bar chart to which I have added a data table beneath the chart. Normally, when I change the primary horizontal axis to display as text, it disappears and pulls the data table tight against the bottom of the chart so that the column headers for the table act as the axis. This is very handy because it creates a one-to-one ratio between each data column and the relevant bars above. However, when I change one of the data points to be a plotted line and throw it on a secondary vertical axis, the chart scrunches up in relation to the data table, and the horizontal axis reappears and the one-to-one ratio goes out the window. Becomes a very sloppy presentation.
I have worked around this in the past, but have no idea how I pulled it off and can't see a difference in formatting selections between an old chart and a new one.
Anyone have any thoughts? I am using 2013, btw.

Thanks!

Formula for Yesterday
Name Manager, New Name. Yesterday =TODAY()-1. OK. Then, use =YESTERDAY in any cell. Tomorrow could be =TODAY()+1.
Not an answer to your question, but how do you change the Chart Type of a single Data Point? Doesn't the Chart Type apply to a Series?

In that case I can't reproduce what you describe in Excel 2013, sorry. Can you post some sample data with an explanation of how it's plotted?
