Problems changing x-axis with large data sets
I have relatively large data sets (for example 8 sets of 1500 x/y-values)
that I want to plot in one chart. So far all is fine. But if I want to change the x-axis scale (to show the curves better, for example from 0-100 to 20-40), everything becomes very slow. Just to mark one curve or try to move the chart within the sheet can take one minute! If I do the same i Excel 2003, there is no delay or problem. Is there a simple solution, or do I have to stick with old Excel? |
Problems changing x-axis with large data sets
Excel 2007 is a notoriously poor charting performer, particularly if you
customize the scale of an axis. Excel 2007 SP1 somewhat improves on this poor performance. Excel 2003 will always outperform 2007. - Jon ------- Jon Peltier, Microsoft Excel MVP Tutorials and Custom Solutions Peltier Technical Services, Inc. - http://PeltierTech.com _______ "Helena" wrote in message ...

Thank you for your response. I installed SP1 and it seems to be better now.
