I have been having a few issues with getting my figure just right in excel. My two main issues are as follows:

1. Is there a way to use scientific notation for all y-axis values except zero? It just looks silly.

2. For my current figure the data points range from 440-700. I was wondering if it is possible to have the first tick mark start at 450 and then proceed in increments of 50 for major tick marks and 25 for minor. I currently have the tick marks in the correct increments but they start at 440 and end at 690. I would prefer to have the first tick mark 10 units to the right of the origin.


I attached a visual of the graph in question. I can always use Kaleidagraph but I would prefer to just do it in excel since that's where all the data is.

Any help is greatly appreciated!
