Thanks Jon, now it works fine with the 2 step for axis in Excel 2007.

Hi Gabriel -

I’ve updated the article to include the Excel 2007 steps, which I’ve tested to make sure they work.

I cannot make the new series appear as requested for the following step with 2007:
“Excel has added the secondary Y axis, but we want the secondary X axis.In Excel 2003 and earlier, go to Chart menu > Chart Options > Axes tab, uncheck the Secondary Value (Y) Axis box and check the Secondary Category (X) Axis box. The bars almost line up.”

After pasting the new series, whatever I do to the Axis, the original series only use a small part of the horizontal axis.

Michel - I'd think it would be impossible to make sense of your 27-series chart by using different colors. How about this approach, which shows all the data, but only emphasizes one series at a time: Easier Interactive Multiple Line Chart
