I got a chart problem I think I found the solution for. Here the problem. Below is my chart as a solution.

"Create a two axis (primary/secondary) graph. The primary axis should represent cars and the graph should be a line. The secondary axis should be bars and represent gallons."

[TABLE="width: 324"]
<tbody>[TR]
[TD][/TD]
[TD]2006[/TD]
[TD]2007[/TD]
[TD]2008[/TD]

Excel Facts

Format cells as currency
Select range and press Ctrl+Shift+4 to format cells as currency. (Shift 4 is the $ sign).
Looks OK to me. Excel puts the primary Y axis on the left and the secondary Y axis on the right side of the chart.

I think if you take the time to look that the link Excel is Fun has a website that list problems and the answer. You can try working out the problems yourself and then look at how he solves the problem.

I'm somewhat confused here. I went to the link and downloaded a few workbooks. All I saw were problems many of which were blank without any answers. Are they to be used in conjunction with the ExcelIsFun youtube videos?

Try reading what it says at the top of the sight highlighted in red.
It might give you a clue

Ok the problem is that most of these are "work along" workbooks and not practice exercises themselves. I havent seen any workbook with questions that go like, "do a pivot table finding the sum of all sold items from last year's sales revenue." You see? Thats a REAL practice question.

If you could find a few from the link I'd appreciate it. But so far I havent found any.

Also, I want to get very good at excel. I'm between beginner and intermediate level. What training exercises do you suggest I get started on? I just dont want tutorials by themselves. I want training with training workbooks that asks exercise questions and gives answers for correction. Basically i'm asking the same question but more in depth.
