Create a combo or two-axis chart in Excel 2016 by Chris Menard

When the numbers in your Excel file vary widely from data series to data series and you want to create a chart, the chart to create is a **Combo** chart. You would also use a combo chart when you have mixed types of data (for example, revenue and net income percentage), you can plot one or more data series on a secondary vertical (value) axis. The scale of the secondary vertical axis shows the values for the associated data series.

A secondary axis works well in a chart that shows a combination of column and line charts.
