| 1. Value (Y) axis crosses between dates
|
| This means the axis crosses between dates (or categories) rather than at a
| date (or category). In a line or column chart, this means that a data
marker
| or column is never split on the vertical axis.
|
| By default, Line and Column charts have this item checked, while Area
charts
| have it unchecked, so the colored area goes right up to the edges of the
| plot area.
|
| 2. Value (Y) axis crosses at maximum value
|
| This means Excel will place the axis at the maximum of the category (X)
| axis, rather than at the default of zero (or the minimum of the axis if
the
| minimum is greater than zero). A primary axis has this unchecked by
default,
| while a secondary axis has it checked, so the secondary does not lie right
| on top of the primary axis. There's no "crosses at minimum", though I wish
| there had been. If you set a value for "Value (Y) Axis Crosses At", this
box
| will be unchecked.

|
| 1. Value (Y) axis crosses between dates
|
| 2. Value (Y) axis crosses at maximum value
|
| that appears under 'Scale' in the 'Format Gridlines' dialog box.
