Default combing two bar charts to share one axis

The tornado chart on Peltiertech's website is somewhat useful. I do not
understand, however, from where the numbers come to put in the "dummy"
series.

Thanks in advance.

Hi Penny,

I think your description of jetting left and right fits that of a
tornado chart. Check Jon's example.

My data is organized into three columns (e.g., column A represents a
category, column B represents a frequency for each category and Column C
represents another frequency for each category). I first created two bar
charts such that the Y axis represented categories (i.e., -5 to 5, 5 to 15,
15 to 20, etc) and the X axis represented frequency 0 to 100.

I would like to have one bar chart so that the two charts above share a
common Y (categories) axis. I would then like the frequency for the data in
Column A to jet off to the Right and the frequency for the data in Column B
to jet off to the Left.

Any suggestions? Thanks in advance.
