Good Morning Chandoo

I landed on your website just by accident, and I haven’t stopped surfing.
Eventhough I am at work and I should not be surfing but I am doing this because I cannot stop reading all the info you provide.

However, I do have a question, ofcourse it is work related..
I am suppose to create a dashboard and I don’t know how.
People are creating a speedometer etc. and I don’t know what they are talking about. I am using Excel 2003 and I don’t know if I can create a dashboard or not. Perhaps I can create something similar to a dashboard using MS Excel 2003..
Is there any help you can provide?(Ofcourse you can).
I would greatly appreciate it.

Thank you, so much

Geeta

@Cristobal: You are welcome

1. Adding another axis without going for combination charts is simple. You can select the particular series you want to move to other axis and go to format series and change the axis. Once the new axis shows up, scaling etc. is same as the primary axis.

2. Copy pasting data works in Excel 2003 as well. If this doesnt work, just use data dialog. Right click on chart, go to Select Data option and add more series. Once the series is added now change its chart type.

Let me know if you still have problems
