What part of it can't he get with a scatter chart? You can format the
series to look like a line chart series by selecting the option with
connecting lines, or by double clicking the series to reformat it.

We've been going back and forth between the XY and Line. It seems like he can
get part of what he wants with each of them but neither give him all that he
wants. I'm beginning to think that it can't be done, but just wanted to pick
the brains of all you charting gurus.

I have a client trying to create an XY scatter chart. The values for the X
axis a 16000, 8000, 4000, 2000, 1000, 500, 250 and 125. They are

numbers,

not text. He would like these values to be displayed in relation to the
amount between the different values. For example, 16000 and 8000 should

have

more space between them than 250 and 125. Is there a way to do this?
