Specifying the value axis position
You can specify whether to have the value axis (typically the y axis) displayed on the left
side, the right side, or both sides of the graph. You can have the same axis displayed on
both sides, or, if you want different scales to appear on either side, you can select specific
data to apply to one side or another. It is important to keep the following in mind when
specifying value axes to the right or left side of the graph:
If you select the entire graph and then select the On Both Sides option, both sides will
•
show the same axis scale.
If you want to have different scales on the right side versus the left side, you must assign
•
data columns to the appropriate side of the graph. For example, if you want the left side
of a graph to show Meters and the right side Feet, you need to select the data to show
in Feet and specifically assign it to On Right Side to have the right side of the graph
show the desired scale in Feet.
There are no value axis options for pie graphs.

(See "Combining different graph types" on page
To specify the axis position:
1 In the Graph Type dialog box, choose one of the following options from the Value Axis
pop-up menu:
For column, stacked column, line, or area graphs, choose On Left Side, On Right Side,
•
or On Both Sides.
For scatter graphs, choose On Left Side or On Both Sides.
•
For bar and stacked bar graphs, choose On Bottom Side, On Top Side, or On Both Sides.
•
Note: If you select On Both Sides without assigning data to a specific side, the scales on
the axes will be identical on both sides of the graph.
For Radar graphs, choose On All Sides.
•
2 Click OK.
To specify different scales for axes on both sides:
1 Select a graph that has labels for both axes, and make sure that the legend is showing.
(See "Entering labels and data for particular graph types" on page
2 Choose Object > Graph > Type, or double-click the graph tool.
3 In the Graph Type dialog box, choose On Both Sides from the Value Axis pop-up menu.

to the Left Axis values.
5 Choose Right Axis from the Graph Options pop-up menu, and make the desired
changes to the Right Axis values.
6 Click OK, and then deselect the graph.
