I have a project involving a hiking trail where I am trying to capture
altitude on Y axis versus mile marker location on X axis. I can enter the
data in adjoining columns and use the chart wizard but each mile marker value
gets positioned along the X axis in uniform increments rather than an actual
linear scale representation. In other words, mile markers 3.3 and the next
mile marker (3.8) are the same distance apart on the X axis in the graphic
representation as is marker 3.8 and the next one (12.5). This distorts the
graphic representation of the actual linear distance between the data points.
Hopefully I have explained this sufficiently. Any suggestions on how to get
a more accurate representation? Thanks!!
