I have a graph with a plot of how the readership of a magasine changes with time. On the left hand axis is quoted number of readers. I would like to put on the left hand axis the percentage of population covered (i.e. number of readers/total pop *100).

I am having difficulty doing this. Any ideas?

Thanks

Explain how you want this to look exactly please? It sounds like you are asking for 2 axes on the left? Or is it that you want the Percentage axis to replace what you already have?

Cheers, Glenn.

Did you hear about the literalist show-jumper? He broke his nose jumping against the clock.
 
Sorry, was a typo. I simply want to put the percentages on the RIGHT axis of the graph. Just a set of tick marks to show what the absolute figures on the left mean.

Sorry about confusion!

Have an extra series of percentages and add them to the graph, select the series, and choose "Secondary axis" for it, then make ( you can choose non-colour, and no symbols, if you want it invisible, assuming line graph ).

Make the max scale of the right hand axis 100% and the max scale of the left-hand axis to equal the total population.


Cheers, Glenn.
