Nope, i need the values to look more pronounced, not so small

Thanks
Hello Seamus,

it would really help if you could describe in more detail what kind of chart you want. Use the drawing tools and mock up the chart. Then we know what to aim for and can tell you how to do it.

It's really hard to guess the desired outcome, so, please help us help you.

cheers, teylyn
So, you can see where i added the blue box to the chart, i would like a big label in that saying 1.28% and the bar next to it saying 27.89% and then i could colour the Y axis white & the graph would be much more presentable

Thanks

Thanks guys!
The only problem with this solution is that most people will not get the dual axes at first, even with different color labels. Some won't really get it any time. Interleaving of columns that link to opposite axis scales is a sure way to make the chart hard to understand.

The clearest thing to do here is make a panel chart or use two separate charts, one above the other. Here is a quick tutorial showing how to make a panel chart with similar data:
