In summary, to add multiple Y axes in Excel, click on the chart, go to "Layout" tab, and select "Axes." To customize the scale of each Y axis, right-click and select "Format Axis." To change the labels, right-click and select "Format Axis," then edit the labels in the menu. Excel only allows for a maximum of two Y axes, but you can create multiple axes with primary and secondary axes. You can also switch the position of the Y axes by right-clicking, selecting "Format Axis," and choosing the desired position under "Tick Marks."
