Default Change the X Axis units

Hey !

I need to create a graphs for physics.
The X axis units must be 0.02 , 0.04 , 0.06 , etc. and not 1,2,3,etc. as
they are now..

How can I change this ?

thanks :)

Default Change the X Axis units

Do you mean the Y axis instead (Value Axis). If so pull up properties for
the value axis and go to the Scale tab.

If you do mean the X axis (Category Axis). This is supposed to come from
your source data. Check your source data. The problem may also be with the
way the numbers are formatted (maybe). Pull up properties for the category
axis and go to the number tab and adjust the number format.

Hope this helps.

Thanks,
Bill Horton

Make an XY chart, which treats both X and Y as numerical data, and use a
range of cells for the X values. You can apply the same formatting (markers
and lines) to the series as in a line chart. A line chart treats the data as
nonnumerical category labels.
