Dual Y-Axes
in IBM SPSS Statistics
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
Creating a Dual Y-Axes Graph
3
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
