Creating Secondary Axis in Excel for a bar graph - excel

I know this might be a very basic question for many of you, but I have been struggling with this basic issue.
I have a data of the following form:
I wish to have a secondary axis for the C row. I have been trying so hard to make it work and I I have tried the following:
Click on the bar graph box and choose Secondary Axis from the option, but the two columns end up overlapping and also it affects "all" the columns instead of just C column
I also tried defining the data set independently into a bar chart with a different names so that excel thinks they are "different" sets, but that does not work either
I only end up getting the following chart.
Any help would be really helpful! Thank You!

Excel Table and Graph, Looking for data labels on only top 3

I am attempting to create the graph below. Currently it is being completed manually.
The top table is the complete data set.
The second table is formulated to get me the top 3 that I would want on my data label.
I am struggling to come up with a solution to blend the 2 together so that I can get the result on the bottom. Any help would be appreciated!
I am okay to accept a solution with or without VBA, while without is strongly preferred!
Kindly see piture below of problem.
To close the loop on this question. I could not figure out without vba. Using VBA, I added conditional formatting for the top 3 ranks, then added data labels based on the formatting.

Stacked and Clustered Columns Excel

I am trying to recreate the below chart in excel:
Below is the data I am using, it is the same data used to generate the chart.
I can't seem to get the desired output, the data stacks but does not separate into the asset classes as expected, an example of which is below:
Thank you for the help in advance.
This is the box & whisker version of your chart, with some minor editing after the conversion...

Excel "support": Dynamic chart with multiple selections

I have a set of data that I wanna make dynamically by clicking dropdown and to reflect that on chart. The problem is, I have like small tables (like in Example, Material A, B, C..) with their certain columns, and that is always the same. But how to connect them to the chart so that I only click which Material I wanna?
seems simple but I am not figuring out with more selections like this...
PivotTables is one of the option, I just managed...but I would like to know with functions also.
To answer this problem, actually the best option is Pivot tables. So to put in one sheet all the data (one column for material, other for date and so on..), because theyre in the same shape lets say, and in my case I know I will always get the same shape and set of data, just date/tonnage and registration is gonna be changed. So, hit the refresh button inside Pivot and there you have it.
That looks great using Pivot Charts, without any kind of formulas or functions that gave me a thought at the beginning.
Greets!

No strCache/numCache if two different series types

This is occurring in my PowerPoint AddIn but it's chart code so posting here. I have a COM (not VSTO) AddIn.
If I populate 3 series that are all already a barChart (dir=col), by setting the values in the Worksheet.Cells and then setting Series.Name, XValues, & Values to the formula for each series' data, it all works great.
Now if I add 3 series of type lineChart and do the same thing setting the WorksheetCells and Series.Name, XValues, & Values I get a blank chart. If I save it the chart.xml is all correct, but it is mussing the strCache/numCache parts. And for the X values, it has multiLvlStrRef instead of strRef.
I do not set values in the Series.Points, just the data and the formula as that has been sufficient elsewhere. Should I be setting that too? And if I do, do I then not set it in the worksheet? Or if all three, does it need to be in a specific order?
I can code up a sample if needed, but I am hoping this is a know issue, hopefully with a work-around and so the description above is sufficient.
Any idea what's going on here. Is there something I need to do to have it populate the strCache/numCache parts?
This question is similar, but it's a different problem.
Found the solution. What I was doing is series by series I was setting the data in the backing worksheet and then setting the formula. That worked fine if all the series were the same chart type. But had the above problem for mixed types.
So I changed my code to write the data for all series to the backing worksheet, and then write all the formulas. Doing it that way it all works fine and the cached data is written to the chart.xml file.

Excel, how to make a graph with different steps than those you've used in your table?

Ok, I'm having troubles here.
I'd like to make a graph from this table:
The problem is that I don't want the graph to use the scale I used in my table, since my scale is completely unusable. My graph looks like this:
I want to make Excel ignore my scale, and use steps like 1 mL for the horizontal axis. I'm using Excel 2010.
This what I get when I select the dataset and insert an XY Scatter:
(which seems a bit more like a pH curve IMO!)
Now, you can change the axis setting by right clicking on it:
You might also want to use some gridlines to help reading the graph, which you can insert via:
You need to use an XY / Scatter chart type
