chart creation
I am trying to create a chart that has an x-axis of temperatures that range
from-100 to 100 and a y-axis that shows altitiude fro 0-100. I need the chart to have one "wavy" line as its data points. I am using excel 2007. Any suggestions? Thanks in advance. |

Put temperatures in a column and corresponding altitudes in the next column.
Select the range and make an XY chart, using one of the subtypes that connects markers with a straight line.

Thanks for the help. It seems to be working but is there a way to get the
Y-axis to be all the way to the left of the chart? Since I have both negative and positive values fro temperature it is putting the y -axis in the middle of the chart.

Chart Tools ribbon | Layout | Axes | Primary Horizontal Axis | More Primary Horizontal Axis Options | Axis Options | Vertical Axis Crosses | Axis Value | -100 | Close Or, you can get the the Axis Value dialog box if you right-click the horizontal axis of the chart and choose Format Axis from the shortcut menu. With the Axis Value dialog box, you may also want to specify Minimum | Fixed | -100 and other options. - Mike Middleton http://www.DecisionToolworks.com Decision Analysis Add-ins for Excel "P.

Another option is to leave the axis where it is, but double click the axis
values (which opens the Format Axis dialog), and on the Patterns tab, choose Low for axis tick labels. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Mike Middleton" wrote in message ...
