Hi guys

This issue at first seemed really simple but I have been at this for hours and cannot make any progress. I have search a ton of articles, boards and all the solutions posed do not fix the issue i am facing, which is to place the secondary Y axis (which is a calculated field, showing only negative values) underneath the X axis. Instead, excel is placing the Y axis on the same level as the primary (also a calculated field, showing positive values) Y axis and the chart just looks confusing.

Not sure what I am missing here, i have changed the 'Horizontal axis crosses' to 0. I have made the minimum and maximum bounds fixed, i have tried all the different charts. The only chart that visually represented what i wanted was the '100% Stacked column', however, i need to show actual figures rather than percentages.

Please see pics to see what my chart currently looks like and the 2nd pic for what the chart should look like.
