Purpose of Dual Y-Axes Graph
2
Merging Two Line Graphs for Side-by-Side Comparative Purposes
Example: Comparing Beginning Salary with Current Salary for different Job Categories within a Company

Dual Y Coordinates
Open the Chart Builder: Graphs > Chart Builder
Switch to the 'Basic Elements' tab
In the 'Choose Axes' section, drag the 'Dual Y Coordinates' to the palette

Line
In the 'Choose Elements' section, drag the 'Line' element to the palette
Place your first variable (Beginning Salary) to the left Y-Axis

In the Element Properties sub-window (which should now appear), you can
choose your variable statistic (Mean) by selecting the 'Line1' property

Line
In the 'Choose Elements' section, drag the 'Line' element to the palette again
Place your second variable (Current Salary) to the right Y-Axis

In the Element Properties sub-window (which should now appear), you can
choose the variable statistic (Mean) for the second line graph by selecting
the 'Line2' property

Place your categorical variable (Employment Category) into the X-Axis
Select OK to generate your graph
