Dual Y-axes charts
A dual Y-axes chart summarizes or plots two Y-axes variables that have different domains. For example, you can plot the number of cases on one axis and the mean salary on another. This chart can also be a mix of different graphic elements so that the dual Y-axes chart encompasses several of the different chart types. Dual Y-axes charts can display the counts as a line and the mean of each category as a bar.

Creating a simple Dual Y-axes chart

  1. In the Chart Type section, click the Dual Y-axes icon.

    The canvas updates to display a Dual Y-axes chart template.

  2. Select a variable as the X-axis variable.
  3. Select variable for the first Y-axis variable and then select a chart type to represent the variable (Bar, Line, or Scatter plot).
  4. Select variable for the second Y-axis variable and then select a chart type to represent the variable (Bar, Line, or Scatter plot).
    Note: You can use the up and down arrow controls to change the Y-axes order.
  5. Click the Save visualization in the project control. Select Create a new asset or Append to existing asset. Provide a Visualization asset name, an optional description, and a chart name.
  6. Click Apply to save the visualization to the project. The new visualization asset is now available on the Assets tab.
