How do I change the bottom blue line (3) to show it higher than a (8)? Also how do I show the blue line as "Position" the way the red line is displayed.

    Click anywhere in the chart.

    Activate the Format tab of the ribbon (to the right of Chart Design).

    Select Vertical (Value) Axis from the Chart Elements dropdown in the Current Selection group.

    Click Format Selection.

    Under Axis Options, tick the check box 'Values in reverse order'.

    It should work if you display the primary vertical axis and secondary vertical axis:

    HansV Sorry about that, it was there the last time I looked but has somewhat dissapeared?? As you can see being in third position is much better than being in fifteenth position but my graph shows this is not the caseImage
