Combo Chart Line up

Copper Contributor

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.

I'd use a line chart with no lines, only markers. See the attached sample workbook.chart.png

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.
