Never mind... got it figured out.
Click on a line on the chart to make the Data Series dialog appear
-
Options – Align data series to
-
Primary Y axis … OR
-
Secondary Y axis
The first trick was to make the DJI line appear, by fiddling with the
Primary Y axis, then was able to align that data series with the Secondary
Y axis. Was able to get the desired chart (also changed Line display for
the DJI to make the chart easier to read).
Cheers,
Jim

Greetings!
Using LibreOffice Calc – 4.1.0.4
Have a fairly simple spreadsheet (just data, no formulas)
-
Column A – Date (e.g., 5.17 = May 17)
-
Columns B thru E – percentages (range between -6 and +2)
-
Column F – whole numbers (range between 1450 and 1600)
Want to generate a chart (using wizard - and manual tweaking as needed)
-
Chart type – Line – Points and lines (easy to read)
-
First row as label + First column as label
Note the initial results
-
DJI shows changes by date
-
Other numbers (percentages) are so small they are scrunched into
virtual invisibility
-
OK – looks like we need 2 Y axes (one for percentages; one for DJI)
Finish initial draft
-
Title – Performance of JFT IRAs + joint account
-
Subtitle – Compared to TRP benchmarks + DJI
-
X axis – date
-
Y axis – % lead
-
Display legend – Bottom
Change primary Y axis (to display percentages)
-
double click on Y Axis
-
adjust Scale settings
-
uncheck Automatic for first 3 settings
-
Minimum -6
-
Maximum 2
-
Major interval 1
-
we now see interesting chart for the 4 percentage columns (by date)
-
(optional) drag chart to below data, pull bottom right corner to I,50
(one page on my printer)
Can we get DJI onto same chart by fiddling with Secondary Y axis?
From menu bar
-
Insert – Axes
-
Secondary axes – Y axis
Change secondary Y axis (attempting to display DJI)
-
double click on Secondary Y axis
-
adjust Scale settings
-
uncheck Automatic for first 3 settings
-
Minimum 14500
-
Maximum 16000
-
Major interval 300
DJI line not shown. What else is required to display DJI data on same
chart?
Attached should be 2 Calc spreadsheets...
- jft_ira_performance_graph_data_DJI.ods (just the raw numbers)
- jft_ira_performance_graph_0809_DJI.ods (with half-baked chart)
Thanks for any comments or suggestions.
Jim
