Dual Y Options: Determine how series in the graph are assigned to the Y1-axis and Y2-axis, as follows:
- Assign odd series to Y1 axis and even series to Y2 axis: Select this option to have the odd series on the graph automatically assigned to the Y1-axis, while the even series on the graph are automatically assigned to the Y2-axis. For example, if the 2008 Q1 Revenue Forecast, 2008 Q1 Revenue, 2008 Q2 Revenue Forecast, and 2008 Q2 Revenue series appear on your graph report, 2008 Q1 Revenue Forecast and 2008 Q2 Revenue Forecast are assigned to the Y1-axis, while 2008 Q1 Revenue and 2008 Q2 Revenue are assigned to the Y2-axis.
- Manually assign series to each axis: Choose this option to manually select the axis on which to display each series. For each series you want to display on a specific axis, select the name of the series. To display the series on the Y2-axis, click the Add icon . To display the series on the Y1-axis, click the Remove icon .
