Column 3D + Line Dual Y - 3D'ness of chart makes line misleading...

[msherwoo]

I am using a multi series column 3D chart with a line and dual Y and a "target" line in the background.  See the example below.  the problem is that the 3D Line is displayed "in front" of the columns, so that when compared to the target line it looks lower than it should.  Is it possible to put the 3D line behind the columns so it can be correctly compared to the target line?  (that may not look right either).  Or maybe I should go to 2D charts instead.  Suggestions?  in the chart below the right mostpoint on the 3D line (the orange/red one) has a value of 61%, but it looks like 56% when compared to the target (blue) line.  I don't think there is a 2D version of this same thing, right?  I think the only way to do this in 2D mode  is with stacked columns, right?

thanks,

Mike

Mike,

To put the lines below column, we'll have to work on code.

Yes- we do have a 2D version of this chart - it's MSCombiDY2D.swf

I have exactly the same issue.

 

Have you plan to provide an updated release ?

 

Until then, have you a stacked column 2D + line ?

 

 

 

By the way how can I set the depth of the columns ?
