Hello all,

I'm a newbie here.

I'm working on two different (very simple) sets of data (three columns each). The problem is each set differs widely in SCALE so that when I choose a Clustered Column chart the data set with the LOW numbers is so low that I can't even tell the difference between them.

How do I adjust the scale on the INCOME dataset so that it becomes readable and comparative?

Thanks in advance.

Example below:

I'm working in Powerpoint (MS Office Pro Plus 2016) if that makes any difference
