Creating a Second Y-Axis on an Analytic Chart

Did you know you can get a 2nd y-axis on a chart? This can create what some people call a mixed-series chart, with a combination of bars and lines.

If you add 2 measures to a Bar Chart, one of which has "normal" numeric formatting, and one which is formatted as a percentage, PerformancePoint will draw the % series on the right axis.

For example, here's a simple chart with one bar series.

clip_image002

Add a 2nd measure to the query, and if it's a percentage, PerformancePoint will automatically add it to the right axis. That's it.

clip_image004

Note: Be sure to add your percentage measure as the first measure in the Series, that way the lines will draw on top of the bars. If the percentage measure is second, the lines will draw behind and may be hard to see.

We don't have a way to manually control this yet, we are hoping to add that in a future version, but for now, you can create mixed bar/line charts as long as you're using percentages.

    Thank you very much. This helps a lot. I just got back from PPS week training and instructor showed the screen shot, but had no idea how to do that... Thanks, Yuriy.

    Thanks for help. Please advise how can I attach a screen chop here to help communicate? I just used the "Getting started tutorial" in Proclarity as my example. My scenario is as follows:

  1. Row: sales amount
  2. Column : Product category
  3. I want to add "% Gross Margin" (from Measurement) in to the "Row" as my 2nd data series....to be plotted in Y2 axis. But when I applied, the Row was replaced by my 2nd selected measurement (% margin), that means, I can never add another data series in row, and further specify it to be plotted using Y2 axis. Please advise where did I go wrong with my Proclarity 6.3 DT professional? Or, was it due to version difference? since I could not see the screen like Greg posted... Appreciated. Lance.

    You need to control click to add % gross margin in addition to sales amount. Once you have both on the rows you can right click on % gross margin and move the series to the y-axis (in ProClarity at least). If you are still having trouble email me at alysonp@microsoft.com

    Is it possible to do this with two dimensions instead of 2 measures? I am playing with my MDX query to try and get it to render the graph in the manner you have above but I cannot figure it out.  In my case, my values are dimensions (one is a % and one is a $).  Any ideas? Thank you!

    In case of the perspective view, does it support to differentiate the dimensions by colors of the data point? And further to display the 3rd measure by using the area size of the data point? (like bubble chart) Thanks for advice.

    Is it possible that all the series are non Percentages?

    A secondary axis is extremely important in the business world, and this solution does not provide a way to compare two measures (Qty On-hand, Units Sold) which is extremely important.  Or even better, average retail vs units sold.  If someone knows of a solution for this using an analytic chart, please post.
