Good morning!

I'm trying to visualise number of tests performed by 2 types of providers in 5 regions over 8 years, and the positivity ratios. So a lot of info in one graph.
The grouped columns for the number of tests look nice enough, but I can't get the positivity ratios right on the secondary axis. See Images.
When I use scatter or lines in the secondary axis, they dont show the progress from 2011-2018 like the bars do. I'd like to have just a dot at each bar for the positivity in that year, region and provider.

What's the trick?? I've managed the attached 2 graphs, but not what I want yet.

Thanks a lot!

if you install xl2bb and paste your tabke with that others can work with your data rather than replicating cell by cell

Thanks for the suggestion mole999!
Here's my data, if anyone's willing to give it a try :)
I've now also tried Jon Peltiers' method described here, but it doesn't work for me since the positivity ratio scale is so much smaller than the number of tests' scale. In Peltiers method, you place everything on the primary axis, which obviously doesn't work in this case.

In Peltiers method, it's configured as an XY scatter, which is also what i did in my first image in the original post (but without using an offset like Peltier does). In the second image it's 2 sets of grouped columns on a primary and secondary axis. Is that what you meant?
