Question about creating a chart with a Y2 axis
posted

Hi there

I am using UltraChart 12.1.20121.2054 and it's fair to say I am a little confused on how to create a chart.

I am using a typed data set as the data source with the source table having the following

Date as a string
Cost as a decimal
Cumulative Cost as a decimal

I would like my chart to appear as the following
Date as the X axis
Cost as the Y axis
Cumulative Cost as the Y2 axis

I would like the Y (cost) axis to appear a column and the Y2 (cumulative cost) to appear as a line.

I have tried creating a chart from the wizard but cannot seem to get what I want out of it.

I have some questions

What sort of chart do I want? I am guessing a composite chart with 2 layers one a column and the other a line.
 
How do I assign a column of the data table to an axis i.e. how do I tell an axis to be built from a particular data column in the source table?

Are there any samples available that do what I want to achieve?

Thanks

    Yes, you are right. You should use a composite chart with two layers
