Default Getting text and grid at a 45 degree angle

Check the peak at the top of the "house", and the smaller addition on the
left wing.

Hi,

It may be possible to draw the gridlines and markers using additional
series plotted as xy scatter chart.
If you need more help can you post a link to an example of one of these
chart styles?

Cheers
Andy

I'm trying to create an affordance structure matrix (if anyone actually
knows
what that is!). It has a regular grid and then a grid above it, rotated
45
degrees. I know how to rotate the text, but that only gives me the grid
lines
for half of the grid. When I change the grid lines to diagonal, I can't
put
marks in all of the squares. Can you do what I want in Excel or do I have
to
use a drawing program?
