I can create bar and column charts w/ 2 data sets slightly overlapping.  
However, when I add a secondary Y axis, the two sets of bars completely
overlap w/ no offset possible -- at least not that I can figure out.  Is
there a way to have my cake and eat it too, that is, have two Y axes and a
slight overlap of the bars?

Hi,

You need to change the layout of your data in order to have column chart
with 2 axes.
