Issue with Dual Axis Column & Bar Chart - wrong secondary axis created

Hi,
Can you please run the following sample and check whether the way you implement setPlotOnSecondAxis is correct or not?

Plaese find the screen shots for expected chart and aspose.cells created one.

If your implementation is correct, can you please send me the code snippet for creating DualAxis chart as like in image 2?

Hi,

Thanks for providing us sample code.

We will look into it and get back to you soon.

Thank you.

Hi,

After look into your issue, we found it is not a bug of creating the secondary axis. Actually, without UI control, it is hard for us to get the behavior of our APIs exactly the same as MS EXCEL. So, please add a line as following in your code to get your desired result:
...
chart.getNSeries().get(2).setPlotOnSecondAxis(true);
chart.getSecondValueAxis().setCrossAtMax(false);
...
Thank you.

working fine.
Thanks.

Muhammed
