Hi Howard
I had a good fiddle yesterday and I conquered the way you explained. Thanks for
that.

The real question about this is: why do you want to superimpose two graphs
using different axes? About all it can tell you is whether one quantity goes up
or down whenever the other does. But it can also easily mislead people: it may
look as though one quantity is climbing much more rapidly than the other, but
by changing the units of each axis you could make it look the opposite. So I
tend to be suspicious of superimposed graphs with different axes.
Sorry if my instructions were hard to follow, Bruce. I did dash them off pretty
quickly!

Hi Bruce,
I have to say that Howard's method strikes me as faster but regardless it's
more sustainable - what about when you change the data?

Howard,
Next we meet I will race you. My method against yours.
I could do it in less time that I have already spent trying to visualise your
instructions.
But thanks for answering Jill's question.
