How do I make a clustered column chart with two axis?&nbsp;As soon as I add a 2nd axis excel 2016 converts the chart type to combo. And the plotted columns of each series overlap each other instead of being on next to the other.How do I make the 2axis variant&nbsp;look like the 1axis variant (except the scaling)?&nbsp;RegardsChilli

Chilli7&nbsp; - I was looking for an answer to the same question - it seems that this a bug as the clustered column chart now fully overlaps and obscures the shorted bar.&nbsp; I have work around this by changing the Gap Width on one series (to make its column wider than the other) and making the Fill transparent.&nbsp; Not ideal but at least both series are visible.&nbsp; :/Hope MS fixes the bug or we find a better solution.

Hi Peter,
&nbsp;
Format one of your series to plot on secondary axis, both vertical and horizontal secondary axis will be available, you may hide vertical and show only horizontal&nbsp;
