Default Interval in legends in surface charts

FYI:
"Chart Tools" is the contextual tab that appears when a chart is selected.
Within the Chart tools tab are the Design, Layout and Format tabs.

Cheers
Andy

You need to format the value axis. Depending on you chart sub type this
axis may not be mouse selectable. If you have the 3d view then it's the
vertical value axis you need to select. From there changing the Min/Max
and Major values will alter the legend bands.


This works great. Change to 3D graph and edit the Z-axis. After that swich
back to 2D.


For the 2d views you can use either, Chart Tools Format Current
Selection. Pick Vertical (Value) Axis and then click Format selection.


I can't quite figure out where the "Chart Tools" are located in Excel2007.
I have a Danish version and therefore not the same names.


Or you can display the Format dialog and then click back to the chart and
use the Down arrow to cycle though the major chart elements. Make sure
it's the down arrow as the up arrow does not go through the axis items.


This also works, but I never have found this feature by my self. I will
use this (or the 3D convertion) in the future.

Thanx a lot for the very informative answer. Good that I can ask you guys
since Microsoft has made it very difficult to change this for a "normal"
user.
