Multy_Y
Multy_Y creates 2 or more Y axes in Excel.
Multiple Y axes plots are created from existing Excel Charts. Each Excel chart appears as a new Y axis on the Multy_Y plot. The plot is a picture that appears on a separate Excel Chart.
Note: To create interactive Multiple Y axes plots, EZplot must be purchased instead. Interactive plots allow you to click on the plots and change titles, scales, labels, etc... There are videos about Multy_Y on the EZplot page. |
