Step Two:

Click on the chart icon. This will activate the chart wizard and go to Step 1 of 4 of the chart wizard. Select the tab called “Custom Types”. Scroll down the list on the left and select the chart type “Line – Column on 2 axes”.

Step Three

Click on next to go to Step 2 of 4. Use Ctrl + C to copy the range and Ctrl + V to paste the copied range to the x-axis. The x-axis range will be available to all the series. Delete the series Q3 because it is meant to be the range for the x-axis.

Note that this chart is static, which means that it does not change until you change the numbers in the table. If you are looking for a chart that will automatically update with the latest figure, you can consider pivot chart.
