Hi,
I am attempting to plot a surface plot with a series of data in Excel 2007.
It plots fine, but when I try to make the vertical axis logarithmic (base10)
excel stops responding. Trying it on other computers the plot seems to work
without a problem in excel 2003, but crashes a friends excel 2007 also. The
data i am using is in csv format below, but i assume it is reproducible with
any data.

Can anyone help me plot this?

Thanks
James M

Thanks for your help Bernard,

and for pointing out it works when multiplied by 1000, this can be a
temporary fix. Also if the chart is plotted in XL2003 and imported to 2007
the chart is still broken (vertical axis occupies approx 10% of whole axis),
making changes crashes XL again.

Should i call Microsoft support to get a fix for this? (I don't want to
start my 90 day support period) How long does a fix normally take to appear?

Thanks

No, do not call MS. You will just get a tech support person.
As an MVP, I have a way of telling the actual Excel development team about
the problem. I have already done this.
