Multiple Y axes support
I have a "line and clustered column chart" where the columns display business volume last month and prior month.
The line represents percentage growth.
The left axle is for the columns and the right axle is for the growth.
Now I would like to show negative growth under zero and positive above instead of having the zero point half way on the right axle
One way is to fix the zero on the right axle, but that functionality does not seem to exist.
Thoughts
Hi caantjes,
It's supported to format both Y-axis for line values and column values in a combo chart. For more information, please see Format the secondary Y-axis section in this article: Tutorial: Customize X-axis and Y-axis properties.
In your scenario, if you have placed one field in Line Values Property in Line and Clustered column chart, then enable the Show Secondary option, you can set properties for those two Y-axis.

Hi caantjes,
Based on my understanding, the growth percentage contains both negative and positive values. And you want to display the negative values under X-axis and positive above X-axis, right?
In your scenario, you can specify the both left and right Y-axis start from the same negative values. See:
If you have any question, please feel free to ask.

Qiuyun YuI only have one Y-axis to define start and end. Only for the columns, not for the line.
Is this added in a recent release ?

I used this and it worked. Basically play aith start and end values, then both axes align to start at 0. I had both axes running from -0.5 to 1.5 and it worked. If i adjujst one to say -0.5 to 1.2 the 0 moves up slightly higher than the 0 on the secondary axis. The solution is in playing with the start and end and getting them as close to each other as posssible. I hope that helps.
