Combo Chart Line up
I am trying to line up this data and create a combo clustered chart with a scatter plot.
Notice how the scatter plot does not exactly line up with the clustered column chart.

| 2021 | -5.1% | 28.68% |
| 2022 | -23.0% | -19.97% |
Wondering if there is a possible way to simply line up the dots

- A line chart combines with the columns better than the scatter in that both normally plot point mid-bay rather than on the grid points. Otherwise the column chart can be changed to plot on the grid points.
I'd use a line chart with no lines, only markers. See the attached sample workbook.
