Right now all the charts supports only one y axis. There should be a support for secondary axis as well.

Any update on adding the secondary Y axis to a column chart?

I typically make a combo chart, e.g. line and stacked column chart. I assign Time period to the shared axis, then one of the metrics to Line Values and the other metric to Column Values.

Any further update on this? The support link indicates how to change chart type but doesn't help with a secondary Y axis.

This doesn't work - there appears to be no way to add a secondary Y axis which is, frankly speaking, utterly ridiculous.

This now seems to make the decision automatically on whether to apply a secondary axis or not. How can I force the line series to plot on the primary Y axis?

Make two charts and drag one on the other

This was not a helpful solution. Some graphs benefit by having multiple axes. For example, variance between two other data points will not have the same scale as the two data points being compared.
