Customizing 2-Axis and Mixed Charts

Both 2-axis and mixed charts feature two data series, each one represented as a
column, line, or area chart. The Chart inspector provides controls that allow you to
format each of the axes individually.

Two-axis charts represent the two data series as two charts, using a different value axis
(y axis) for each chart. The axis on the left side of the chart belongs to the first data
series and is called Value Axis (Y1). The axis on the right side of the chart belongs to
the second data series and is called Value Axis (Y2).
