I currently have categories going from 1st of may to 11th may. How do I get it to just have labels for the even numbers (2nd/4th/6th/8th/10th)? Also, how do I have 10,20, 30, 40 amd 50 on the value axis. How do I remove the bottom one (10) but keep the rest? |

Chart type?
Generally you have little control over non-uniform display of axis tick labels. But you can sometimes get what you want with custom number formats. For the Y axis, you could use a format like [=10]"";General For the horizontal axis, you have to start the axis at 0 March (i.e., 29 Feb) and suppress the first label, through perhaps a format like [<39508]"",mmm d - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Damian" wrote in message ...

Hi Jon,
I'm having trouble suppressing the first label on the horizontal axis with that format. I'm using a column and one line chart. I wonder what i'm doing wrong. Also, do you know where i can learn more about how custom formats work? Thanks Damian "Jon Peltier" wrote: Chart type? Generally you have little control over non-uniform display of axis tick labels.

Hi John,
When I format the numbers using [<39508]"",mmm d It changes the category labels to 5 digit numbers like 39536,39569 instead of dates.

My bad. I should have typed a semicolon instead of a comma in that format:
[<39508]"";mmm d Sorry. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Damian" wrote in message ...
