One such scenario is when we want to highlight specific cells in a column meeting our custom criterion, but not all the other columns corresponding to that cell (default behavior). This can be achieved by quickly creating pairs of calculated fields as shown below, and corresponding dual axises.

Note how Sales column continues to stay unchanged for the rows corresponding to the highlighted cell, only our specific cells for the particular column gets highlighted.
