How to add two things on the same X-axis in Microsoft Excel

In this tutorial, we will learn how to add two things on the same X-axis in Microsoft Excel. In Microsoft Excel, to add multiple items on the same x-axis, navigate to the “Select Data Source” dialogue box and include new series in the “Legend Entries” section. This feature allows for the easy comparison of different data sets on a single graph. Moreover, it provides a visually appealing representation of complex data that would otherwise be difficult to analyze.
