Hey guys, little help if you could...

Creating a chart:

Row 1 - Has months of the year
Row 2 - Has numeric values
Row 3 - Shows the percentage each month is of the total of all values in Row 2 e.g. if row 2 totals $1m and March has $200k, row 3 for march will show 20%.

The problem:

When I create a line chart, I align the values to the Primary Axis and the percentages to the Secondary Axis this however, this creates 2 lines on the same chart. This is because the each chart is lining up to the increments on each individual axis. How do I stop this? I want 1 line which accurately represents the correct value on each axis.

Cheers

Stephen

If you double click on an axis or right click and select Properties, you can change the scale on an axis so that it matches and the lines overlap.
