Figure 9-24. U.S. presidential administration timeline, in chronological order
It would be nice to also show the total life span of each president on the same timeline. Be-
cause we have the birth date and death date figures, and therefore total life span, in the work-
book, we can add them by using the
Dual Axis
feature we have already considered. Follow
these steps:
1. Drag
Born
from Dimensions to the left of
DAY(Took office)
in the Columns shelf.
2. Click in the new pill and change the from
YEAR(Born)
to green
DAY(Born)
.
3. In the Marks area, open the
DAY(Born)
section, replace
SUM(Time in Office)
with
SUM(Life Span)
and remove
Party
from the color shelf.
4. Click the down arrow in the
DAY(Took office)
pill in the Columns shelf and select
Dual Axis
.
