Thumbs up Answer: Lock Axis Values?

Yes, it is possible to lock in the axis values in Microsoft Excel. Here's how you can do it:
  1. Select the chart that you want to modify.
  2. Right-click on the Y-axis and select "Format Axis" from the drop-down menu.
  3. In the Format Axis pane that appears on the right-hand side of the screen, click on the "Axis Options" tab.
  4. Under "Bounds," you will see two options: "Automatic" and "Fixed." Select "Fixed."
  5. Enter the minimum and maximum values that you want to use for the Y-axis in the "Minimum" and "Maximum" fields.
  6. Click "Close" to apply the changes.

Now, your Y-axis values will remain fixed, regardless of any changes to the data in your chart. This will allow you to track your progress towards your predetermined goal more accurately.
