No. My numbers are all above 1. Basically what I've been asked to do is
visually "squash" the datapoints.

It is kind of like a log-scale, in that we want to show more information in
less space, but it is not a probability plot. The x variable is a log of a
workplace protection factor for certain equipment. The y variable is the
cumulative percent.

I'm using Excel 2002.

I have data that looks like this:

I need to produce a scatter plot in excel. Simple to do in general.
However, the requestor has asked me to have the major y-axis values be
these
(evenly spaced on the y axis):

0.1
1
5
20
50
80
95
99
99.9

I was able, using information found at http://PeltierTech.com/ (thank you
Jon) to make a dummy series that would portray the axis as I needed it.
However, the data is still plotted on the "real" axis and obviously does
not
line up with the "fake" y-axis values. Because there is a different
amount
of "space" between the major ticks, the distance between points will need
to
vary.

Any suggestions appreciated. I am going to try a SAS solution as well,
but
the end-users prefer to be able to do it in excel.
