I'm attempting to create a combination Bar and Line with two data series.
(e.g., two bars and two lines for every value on the x axis).  I'm able to
create the bars and lines but the lines are aligned in the middle of the two
side by side bars.  I would like the data points for the lines to align with
each coresponding bar.  Any ideas?

I'm having trouble visualizing what you're after, but you might try making
the line portion a scatter chart and then dragging the points into place on
the chart.

I'm having trouble visualizing what's actually happening and what you're
after, but you might try making the line chart a scatter chart and then
dragging the points into place on the chart.
