In a 2010 Excel chart, can I have different Y-axis scales (a primary and secondary axis) for a line chart?

I see how to make a secondary Y-axis for bar charts, but can't figure out how to apply this to a line chart.
 

Excel Facts

Is there a shortcut key for strikethrough?
Ctrl+S is used for Save. Ctrl+5 is used for Strikethrough. Why Ctrl+5? When you use hashmarks to count |||| is 4, strike through to mean 5.
Thanks for the link, but this site is an add for advanced Excel charting classes. In fact it states "Mostly I ignore these questions"
While it does show some examples (without any explanations) of a secondary axis, I'm still not sure this is available for Excel 2010 line charts.

The problem I have with the site is he doesn't answer questions and I don't want to pay $425 for an advanced excel class.
While it may be the all in all expert on charting, I'm looking for a simple answer to a simple question, which is not available on that site.
Thanks for the replies.

The way making a secondary Y-axis for line chart is same as in bar charts.
Set Chart Type as Line Chart and set it as Secondary.
