    Excel 2007 graph problem - please help!

    Hi all, i am hoping you can help me. I am a recent convert to Excel 2007 and have a query. I am trying to format a graph i have created, and to simplify, i have a line graph with 2 sets of values, one between 0 and 300000, the other between 0 and 1, both against values of time on the X axis. Now, i would like to have the line of values between 0-300000 on the primary Y axis, and 0-1 on the secondary Y axis. I would then like the first line (0-300000) to be in front of the second line (0-1) on the graph. I cannot find a way to do this, as whenever i try, the line of the secondary axis is ALWAYS in front of the primary axis.

    Is there a way to do this? I hope my probelm is clear enough to help, if not, ask and i'll elaborate.

    Thanks in advance

    Some ideas...

    Switch the axis
    Change the color of the lines
    Change the width of the lines
    Change the markers
    Change the style of the lines
    Adjust the axis scale
