Possible Usage Scenarios
When the numbers in a chart vary widely from data series to data series, or when you have mixed types of data (price and volume), plot one or more data series on a secondary vertical (value) axis. The scale of the secondary vertical axis shows the values for the associated data series. A secondary axis works well in a chart that shows a combination of column and line charts.
Handle Primary and Second Axis like Microsoft Excel
Please see the following sample code that creates a new Excel file and puts values of the chart in the first worksheet. Then we add a chart and show the second-axis.
Sample Code

<button id="runExample">Run Example</button>
<a id="downloadLink" style="display: none;">Download Result</a>
