Paul -

I've used the workaround for this and for many other purposes.

Excel chart axes always put the first tick at the minimum and count by
the major unit from there.

You could use a dummy XY series to apply your own custom axis scale:

On either an XY chart or on a scatter chart, I want to have a secondary
Y axis (showing temperature) that goes from 32 to 212. But I want the
labels to be at multiples of 10 (e.g., 40, 50, 60, - - - , 190, 200,
210).



The reason that I want to do this is because the secondary axis is
degrees FAHRENHEIT and I need for it to match the primary axis which
goes from 0 to 100 degrees CENTIGRADE.



How can I create a secondary Y axis with a scale that starts at 32 and
has tick labels at even multiples of 10?
