Excel 2021 Combo Chart with 2nd axis not accessible on Mac
Hi, I have Excel 2021 on a Mac. My project has an already existing column chart with vertical (value) axis and line with a =SERIES formula. I need to add a secondary axis with titles. Right now, I have 6 sets of data for 5 buildings and a total row. Every time I switch the chart to Combo with Secondary Axis, only 3 columns appear for 3 data sets. The informal format pane showing bin widths is not accessible (no matter why pathway I choose from double-clicking to using the Chart Design menu and features). Please help.

When you are talking about 'bin widths' it suggests you are dealing with a histogram. And that doesn't work in a combo chart.
If you have clustered column chart with 6 series, click the one that you want to show as a line. On the 'Chart design' tab click 'Change chart type' and select line. Now, with the line still selected, right-click (or 2-finger press on the touch pad) and select 'Format data series...' and then 'Secondary axis' in the Series options tab.
