and more. To access all of these options, the user should right-click in a blank part of
the chart and choose Chart Properties. The Chart Properties dialog box will appear, as
shown in Figure 6-36. In this figure, the user has clicked the 3D Options button and

Charts with a Right Axis Recall from earlier in the chapter that trying to display two
measures with very different formats, such as gross profit (measured in dollars) and
gross profit margin (a percentage) forced the percentage to the right Y-axis. ProClarity
charts also allow users to place a series on the right axis as well as the left. Each
series can be represented differently as well; the series measured by the left axis can
be a bar while the series measured on the right axis can be a line, for example. This is
a common way to show actual values and percentages in the same chart.
