category (X) axis gridlines
Why would value (Y) axis gridlines be useful?
It's true that often gridlines are unnecessary, and the default formatting in Excel is so bold that the gridlines detract from the data. However, in an XY chart, the X axis is used just like the Y axis, to plot numerical values proportionally to their values. And in a date scale axis, a major gridline every week helps to make the data easier to interpret. For gridlines, I like to use light gray; in my custom palette, I modify the default light gray to two shades lighter. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "mwpyoung1" wrote in message ...
