Create a chart with more than one y axis

Asked by Mr Ed

I am trying to chart my daily weight and blood sugar readings. Since the 2 numbers are so far apart (if they were closer I would not need to chart them, assuming the lower scale :-). I am trying to have the dates across the bottom, the weight increments (150, 160 ... 300) on the left and blood sugar increments (50, 55, 60 ... 200) on the right.

I wish I knew the proper 'charteese' to ask the question in. Maybe 2 different scales in one chart?

Also, how do I manually set a data range. The blood sugar always has a lower value of 0. I would like it to be 50 with an upper value of 250.

Thanks!

Hi,

You can have a look at forum threads on OpenOffice. For instance, http://www.linuxtopia.org/online_books/office_guides/openoffice_calc_user_guide/openoffice_calc_Secondary_y-axes.html .

Hope this helps!
