how to create a chart with multiple y axis categories

Tags: excel, axis, multiple, y, chart
I want to create a chart with one x axis but multiple y axis points.  

E.G.  i receive excel spreadsheets for processses that our software runs.  i would like to chart these results to analyze.  
i have 4 columns of data. running time, start time, status, computer name
i want one column, start time, to be my x axis
i want the remaining columns to be the y axis points.  
so i would like to chart each instance the process is running on the x axis and then group the y axis points together for the given time on the x axis.  therefore allowing me to see trends and patterns.

so lets say i notice that their are multiple high values for the running time.  the process to awhile to complete.  i would like a chart that lets me quickly compare the other y axis values to see if there are patterns.

maybe there is a better way and i am open to suggestions but that is the result i am looking for.
