Thank you! I seem to have gotten the line and bar working together properly now. I've run into another issue, however, with the secondary axis values. The numbers on the right seem to be arbitrary, though the bars themselves show the correct value. I can't figure out how to get it to show as 0-24 (or 8-24 is what I would prefer). Any ideas?
Double-click the secondary value axis.
Under Axis Options, enter the following
In Minimum: 0.3333333333333 (this corresponds to 8:00)
In Maximum: 1 (this corresponds to 24:00)
In Major: 0.08333333333333 (this corresponds to 2:00)
Expand Number near the bottom.
In the Format Code box, enter [h]:mm, then click Add.
