Having problem adding secondary axis to excel chart

I have created an Excel table and chart with trend line, but I cannot add element for secondary axis.  It does not appear as an option.  I would like a secondary axis for column H in the "Slave Percentage" worksheet.

    If your chart has two or more data series, only then you will have the option to select one of the data series and use the Format Data Series to plot the selected data series on a secondary axis. If your chart has only one data series, the secondary axis option is disabled.

    wyake0 Your file contains only column A and B and no column H. If you can repost a full dataset, we could try to help.

        wyake0 How about this chart? Basically, I copy column H3:H11 and paste onto your current chart. Then go to Select Data and click on Series 4 on left pane, Edit, choose Series Name = header of column H. Finally, just go to Change Chart Type/Combo chart and pick that new Series Slave as Percentage as Line on Secondary axis.
