Default Broken x-axis in excel

Hi.

I want to create a chart, where my x axis contains values within a range
above zero, and to a given value. So far so good.

My problem involves that i want the axis itself to show that there is a
break from zero to my given value (marked with a Z-like sign), wich excel
does not automaticly do. Is this possible to acheive? I have seen charts vith
this prefix, but there is no such function, or description of how to do it in
the "help register".

Thank you.

Default Broken x-axis in excel

This page shows one approach, and links to a couple others:

http://peltiertech.com/Excel/Charts/BrokenYAxis.html

It deals specifically with a Y axis, but if the X axis is a value axis
(i.e., it's an XY chart) the protocol is very similar.
